I have the best fun to share: I invited the entire Color Hues team to Play Cards with me this month!! They said YES!! Truly something to celebrate!!
But the fun continues, because I get to invite ALL of YOU to Play Cards, too!! Can you dig it?? So here is our assignment, and yours:
- Red
[white] and Blue
- Stars
or Stripes [can be from patterned papers!]
- Embellishments
of any kind i.e. alphas, numbers, bling, etc.
Here is how I brought the assignment together:
I've used patterned paper to die-cut my stars whose patterns are laid out in rows [or stripes], embellished with lots of little die-cut stars from the same papers, and even got the ol' sewing machine out!
I hope you'll join us! Right now, I can't wait another moment to see the teams' cards at Color Hues - they always blow me away with their creativity! Let's go!!
