Red White and Blue Authentique style
**********
For my project today I created a layout using the new Glory Collection ,
which happens to go perfectly with the Core'dinations Kraft Core collection by Tim Holtz. The red No. 3 is a perfect match with the colors in Glory.
When I sanded my stars, the kraft color underneath was a perfect match to the off white of the patterned papers. To make the stars, I embossed them using a chipboard star and a stylus. I then lightly sanded the embossed image and TADA!...fabulousness!
Here's a look at my layout:
and a few closer looks
Speaking of "Glory"... Have you seen that it is one of the collections in the running for "Favorite Patriotic Collection 2012" over on the Paper Crafter's Corner? Make sure you stop by and cast your vote!

I think that these papers are my favorite Authentique papers of all time. I'd love to make Independence Day cards with them.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is all Americana so I just love this collection, what makes it stand apart for me is the rustic
ReplyDeletevintage feel. The musical background paper is a fave.
The shades of red and blue remind me of The French General products that I got to use and see at the CHA. Gorgeous! I like how you sewed some of this layout. What a good idea. So pretty.
