Challenge Your Stash

 I had so much fun with the challenge this month on our Create From Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  Barb was our hostess this month and she challenged us to do a red, white and blue card with any theme or holiday.  I decided to create a birthday card because that is what I use the most.

For my card I started with a piece of 3.75 x 5 inches paper from 49 & Market called Kaleidoscope.  It made for a great background.  I used one of the first Stampin Up stamp sets that I ever bought back in 2012 or 2013.  It is called Summer Silhouettes.  I used Night of Navy and Marina Mist Stampin up ink for the foliage and then Stampin Up Real red for the flowers.  I then used the Taylored Expressions Sundry Sentiments stamp for the sentiment.  I added a few BGM Cherry gems on the card.  I then used a 4 x 5.25 sheet of Real Red Cardstock as a border for the card.

Thanks to Barb for a great challenge this month.
