MIM #188

Happy Veteran's Day 
and
THANK YOU 
to all of our 
Servicemen and Women!

I created this note card going out to a friend today ~ it seems fitting to call it Stars and Stripes.

MAKE IT MONDAY
STAMPING OMBRE BACKGROUNDS

Laura Bassen brings her FUN style to a colorful project using a gradient of layered colors on this week's MIM. 
You can watch her video HERE.

I layered the 'stripes' in different shades of blue to create the ombre background on Stamper's Select White cardstock.
The Hello and Star dies are double cut to look like a shadow, then I glued them together and adhered to the front with foam tape for some dimension.  The royal blue cardstock from Recollections is framing the top and all are taped to the White card base.
