Thank You Card ~ A Little Red White and Blue

I've been inking up my folders again.

I love how you can create multi-colored embossed paper this way.

I wanted to frame the lighthouse in a life preserver 

so I created it with two circle dies and colored its red stripes.

Next I wrapped twine around the center and tied some in a knot.

To finish off I added the sentiment die cut.

*Lighthouse from the Life Is Good stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
*Lighthouse cut using the Life Is Good die set from Lawn Fawn.
*Sentiment cut using the Scripty Thanks die  from Lawn Fawn.
*Top embossed using the star folder from the Cuttlebug Skyward Set.
*Bottom embossed using the Cuttlebug Distress Stripes folder.
*Life preserver cut using circles from the Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Circles die set.
*Jute twine from Tool Bench Hardware.
*Copic markers Y15 and R37.
*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad.
*CTMH Star Spangles Blue stamp pad.
*Stampin Up Real Red stamp pad.

May your day always be filled with love.

Crafty hugs,
