Good morning! It is Tuesday, and that means a smashing new challenge over at the colourQ...
I was feeling a little (okay~ maybe a LOT) patriotic when I found this color combination for this week's colourQ challenge and I immediately wanted to use little squares to emulate the inspiration photo... How perfect that Laura's sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You had little squares! YAY!
This was a super quick card! I punched out 4 scalloped squares with Stampin' Up!'s Scallop Square punch and a 1 1/4 inch square of each color. Then I punched out a star from each color using the Small Star punch from SU!, and then punched out a 1 1/4" square around the negative space from the star, which I adhered using dimensionals to the solid color squares. Maybe a 10 minute card! The ribbon is also SU!, Real Red 3/4" Polka Dot Grosgrain - LOVE IT! This ribbon will disappear at the end of the day tomorrow - so if you like it, you better grab some!
Bye for now & thanks so much for dropping by!
