Now when I have a 'red, white & blue' challenge to do, I always think - boy card! So that's what I did with my first card. I made the panel using my Inkadinkado circle stamps and memento inks on a pale blue piece of linen card, and added a few small red dots using a Stampin Up stamp... I've no idea why I didn't just use a piece of red, white & blue patterned paper, it would have been much quicker lol. More fun this way though! The stars were cut with a sizzix die, button and twine from my stash and the sentiment is from a set by The Cat's Pajamas. I'm also entering this card for the 'clean & simple' challenge at Cards For Men.
Then for my second card, I went with the colours of the St George's flag, rather than the Union Jack (and it works for hubby's Polish flag too). The flourish stamp is from a set by Eco Green, that I treated myself to because I didn't have any flourish stamps... now that I've got them I'm not totally sure what to do with them, but they're all gorgeous so I'm sure I'll find a use for them! The bird is a Glitz stamp and the sentiment is from the 'kids play' set by Flourishes. It's ended up looking a lot like a Christmas card, but that wasn't my intention!
This one makes me hyperventilate just looking at it! Eek, so much white (or ivory linen actually) space!!! The flower and the sentiment are from the Penny Black 'salutations' set, and I added a teeny blue pearl in the centre of the flower... not sure I'll ever use this card, it's a bit too CAS for me!

All fabulous Lisa, but #1 is my fave! Sounds like a perfect morning (now please could you have a word with my hubby too!) xx Jenny xx
Such gorgeous cards, beautiful image and colours.
All fab cards. I like your patterned panel on the first card. It does suit a boy especially with the stars. Love the flourish on your second card with the bird. I know it's scary to leave so much white but your third card looks great with just the little flower and the sentiment crossing it. x
HI Lisa,
perfect CAS Card... And perfect for the LIM challenge

Hi Lisa, just looking at the LiM blog and came across your cards - they are just brilliant. The middle one is my favourite - love the swirl. You lucky girl getting hubby to take the children, mine does that once (no make that twice a year ) to go shopping for my birthday and Christmas presents! Sarah
