Creative Inspirations: Red white and blue

Good morning lovelies - and before I go any further I must give you all an update on my bingo balls - sadly they are nowhere to be found - but - there is a silver lining - somebody at school has got the same set and is willing to let us use them! So we will play bingo on Friday evening!!! Whoop whoop!!!!! Gosh - I know how to live!

Okay - so today over at Creative Inspirationscinspirations there is a new challenge starting called 'Red, white and blue'.
You may also use Hair / Skin Tones but no other colours please!




This week's prize is from MY MUMS CRAFT SHOP which is a
£10 VOUCHER and a 10% DISCOUNT FOR EVERYONE who joins in with the challenge!!!




 Here's what I did using a fab stamp from Little Claire:



So I used a tentfold card that I pinched from my mum - thanks mum - and covered it with some papers from the papermania portobello road collection. The image was stamped and coloured with promarkers and then cut with my fave spellbinders oval die. The sentiment is words that mum had cut out with her new tattered lace everyday word dies and I managed to snaffle. Oh its good to have a crafty mum!!!!

I'd like to enter this card for the following challenges:

Bearly minebearlymine-challenges: AG
CYPC:craftyourpassionchallenges Red, white and blue
Digi Darlasdigidarlas: Red white and blue
Kaboodle doodleskaboodledoodles: National flag colours
