CELEBRATE!! CCMC361

Its another Thursday and time for a challenge from Create with Connie and Mary!  This week we have a color combo of Real Red, Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake for our challenge.  Because of the upcoming July 4th holiday, I immediately thought of a patriotic card; I thought this worked well even though the blue is a bit of a non-traditional tone...
 

I used a piece of Crumb Cake and dry embossed it with the Lucky Stars embossing folder; next I added a strip of Real Red and Lost Lagoon.  Over that is another layer of Crumb Cake which has been punched with the Confetti Stars Border Punch which allows the red and lagoon to show through.

I wrapped a length of Real Red 1/4" Cotton Ribbon around these layers then attached the wood "Celebrate" over that (It is natural light-colored wood even though it looks more white in this picture).  

 

A Red Glimmer Paper diecut star  with loops of gold thread behind it anchor the top left corner and two addition punched Gold Glimmer stars are the final decoration.

Stamps: none on the outside

Inks:       "     "     "     "
Papers:  Real Red, Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake cardstocks, Gold Glimmer Paper
Accessories:  Star Framelits, Big Shot, 1/4" Real Red Cotton Ribbon, Star Punch from Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Confetti Stars Border Punch, Gold Metallic Thread, Expressions Natural Elements, Lucky Stars Embossing Folder.
