Thursday Challenge @ MelJen's!

Hello Friends! And to my American friends...Happy 4th of July! Our challenge this week is

"PATRIOTISM"

Use the colors of your nations flag on your project

How fun is that?! I'm excited to see the card submissions for this one! I hope all of you will play along. Remember, in order to be included in the random drawing, you must use a MelJen's Designs image on your project.

I live in the USA! And our flag is red, white and blue. I decided to re-visit a card I previously created, featuring American Angel. I think she's adorable.

After printing a few of the image, I colored her with Copic markers. Then I did a bit of fussy cutting on her wings, the stars and flag. I adhered them with dimensional adhesive and I also added glitter to her wings. I wanted this to look vintage, so I sponged on some distress inks. I just love this patterned paper pack. I don't use it often enough. It's from My Mind's Eye and it's called Kraft Funday Happy Days. I've had it for a while. The papers are all Kraft with a lot of fun patterns. Anywho...I loved the stars and thought they made a nice back drop for my image.

Please stop by the Design Team blog to see what the other members have created to share with you. Many of our team members are from other countries, so it will be fun looking at their creations. And after taking in all that inspiration, grab your favorite MelJen's digi and join the challenge! You just might win some FREE digital stamps.
