*********************************

This is my 5"x 7" card, using EyeConnect Crafts' Lace-Up: Celebration, Flags...

I brushed white gesso on the Lace-Up: Celebration, Flags, let dry and removed them from the carrier.

I taped different washi tapes on the Flags, trimmed the excess off, re-punched the holes and added a polka-dot ribbon.

I trimmed a light pink panel and stamped "chicken wire" (center) and sentiment (around the edges) with light pink ink (CTMH stamps). 

I die cut a white frame in my ScanNCut and stamped texture (CTMH) with brown ink. I outlined it with a fine tip black pen and adhered it on the pink panel.

I stamped sentiment in brown and added a cluster of paper flowers, with sequins in the centers.

Finally, I added the Flags on with foam tape for dimension.

Party Time Drink Card/Invitation

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

A Card or Invitation using leftovers...actually, I should say extras...from other projects:

The background is from this project HERE...I used a stencil (Club Scrap) and American Crafts Heidi Swapp Color Shine Teal.
I stamped orange slices using Tsukineko VersaMark and heat embossed them in Zing! Fluorescent Embossing Powder Neon Green. I "sliced" them in half and also trimmed a border.
I stamped sentiment on panel (Tsukineko VersaMagic Dew Drop Spanish Olive) with the help of my MISTI (click to view a smaller version - Mini MISTI).
Another sentiment was stamped on banner (with Tsukineko Memento Paris Dusk) and adhered on card. Finally, I adhered some sequins using Mod Podge Dimensional Magic.
Stamps are CTMH.
