Memorial Day

Hey kids!  Cindy back today with a cute card to celebrate Memorial Day.  I would like to thank past, present, and future service men and women.  You are what makes this country great!  We are taking a look at the A Child's Year Cricut cart today..


Just a little bit about what I did to the Ecru ric rack :-)

I felt that the color of this ric rack needed to be darker to fit in with the Kraft paper on my card.  I cut it to fit and then dabbed on some Tim Holtz Distress paint in frayed burlap.
 

I didn't put tons on it since I wanted it to look kind of distressed or worn.

Recipe:
5" square cardbase in Kraft
A Child's Year Cricut cart - boy w/wagon @ 3 1/4"
The Paper Studio - Vintage flag star - single sheet of patterned paper
Core'dinations - scarlet cardstock
Cuttlebug embossing folders - stripes -Retro Kitchen set, stars - Skyward set
Tim Holtz sanding tool - to make the embossing pop
Maya Road - Ecru Mega ric rack
Tim Holtz Distress paint - frayed burlap
pop dots

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a safe Memorial day weekend!  Have you joined in the fun on our facebook group?  There is always something happening there :-)
