GO ARMY!!

Hello beautiful Want2Scrap friends!! 

I have brought out a bit of my patriotic side today. I come from a military family. So, with my daughter and nephew currently serving in our great country's military, I decided to do an army themed greeting card. I myself am a Navy veteran, but I won't hold that against the youngsters...lol.

I started with a craft colored 5" x 5" card. I cut and distressed the edges of slightly smaller pieces of designer paper in a camouflage and map print. I glued these papers one on top of the other. Coffee dyed lace and trims were used to add dimension and flare.

Want2Scrap Swirls - Black Rhinestones were used as a pleasing accent to the Army chipboard word, that is painted black and sealed using two coats of Mod Podge. The chipboard was glued to its final location using dimensionals.

I accented a small vintage tag from my personal stash using Want2Scrap Sleek Strips 12" - Rhinestones Iridescent. The vintage tag is tucked behind the Army chipboard word. The back side of it is blank to add a special note for my soldier.

I finished by adding Sleek Strips 12" - Rhinestones Iridescent below the Army Chipboard word, on top of some of the trim. I hope you enjoyed this little piece of patriotic heaven.

HAPPY CRAFTING!!

Hello Want2scrap friends, Lovita here! Today I want to share with you one of my fall cards.

I just love the texture and look of burlap so, I used a black 5x7 card as a base for this design. I  began by placing a Want2Scrap Silver Rhinestone Swirl in the top right corner of the card.

I painted the Want2Scrap chipboard shaped Small Pumpkin Stack using Americana paint in Cadmium Yellow and Bright Orange. I used Dark Chocolate to distress the edges and define the individual pumpkins and sealed it using three coats of Mod Podge Satin. I glued 3mm dark green rhinestones in place of the pumpkin stems and placed the finished chipboard piece onto the card just below and slightly covering the Silver Rhinestone Swirl.

I then glued natural raffia and pete moss onto seperate pieces of black cardstock and secured them onto the card using hot glue. I used Color Box Mix'd Media Inx-Leather to stain two toothpicks and glued one flower to the end of each. I placed them within the natural raffia to give the effect of flowers growing from straw or hay.

In the flower centers are a white pearl bead or a tan 3mm rhinestone.
