Off we go!

My first instinct when looking at this stamp set is to do something for the 4th of July; however, since I used the Jubilee papers for last month’s Hop, I really wanted to do something else.

I started thinking about different color combinations I could use and was just going to use cardstock when I remembered the Paper Fundamentals. Ah-ha! The black would be perfect! Add in some Cranberry and Honey and I had just what I was looking for.

I stamped the TNT on a piece of scrap and then cut it out, removing the fuse from the end. I replaced that with a piece of frayed twine for a fun bit of texture.

Here is what I used. All products are Close to My Heart:
