Happy Canada Day! Today is the day we celebrate the best country in the world. I am so blessed to call Canada home. I designed a special card to celebrate...
Canada is almost synonymous with the maple leaf, in fact, for decades our national anthem was called The Maple Leaf Forever. What better way to pay tribute to this great country than with the maple leaf image from the
Vintage Leaves stamp set? Here I stamped it in
Memento Black ink and then coloured it using alcohol markers for a vivid red. I die cut the coloured leaf using the
Leaflets Framelits. I spotlit the die-cut leaf using
gold foil card stock. I used the
Woodgrain TIEF to add texture to the
Whisper White background panel before mounting it on a card base of
thick Whisper White card stock.
The sentiment, taken from our national anthem, is stamped using the
Rotary Alphabet stamp...a must-have for every stamper, as it allows one to create any customized sentiment. I trimmed each word, adhering them individually and slightly crooked (yep, did it on purpose!). The only embellishment is three little
gold sequins in the lower left corner to add a little sparkle.
I hope that where ever you are celebrating Canada Day this year, whether at home or abroad, you are doing so surrounded by the love of family and friends. Happy Birthday Canada!!
