Thrifty Thursday w/MCT and a Winner!

Good morning everyone and welcome to 

My Creative Time's Thrifty Thursday.

A day set aside to share any type of project using our scraps/leftovers or recycling items using My Creative Time stamps and dies!

With the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, I thought for my project today I would use up some of my Red, White and Blue card~stock scraps to a make a card in honor of  all those brave men and women who fight every day to keep us safe. 
I hope you like it.....

For my card I started with a navy blue card~stock base and following the sketch for the current CASE(E) this Sketch (pic down below) went about cutting my layers. I recently picked up this beautiful star vellum paper and couldn't wait to give it a try. After cutting my white and red card~stock down to size, I added a piece of the star vellum as an overlay and stitched it to the white and red card~stock layer.
Placing those layers aside, I stamped my sentiment from the Happy Homecoming stamp set and then heat embossed it using some white embossing powder from Creative Inspirations Paint.
I then attached my card~stock mat to the front of my card. Finally I die cut some Stitched Stars in the matching papers, attached them to my card front using some foam pop dots and added a few randomly placed sequins.

So what do you think?????

Making projects with all those scraps has never been easier...LOL! Especially with the adorable MCT dies and stamps!

Supplies Used:

Paper~ Navy, White, Red scraps

Vellum~Boys Rule (unknown manufacture)

Stamps~ My Creative Time~Happy Homecoming

Dies~ My Creative Time~3 Star Stitched Dies

Embellishments~ Sequins, Sewing Machine

white embossing powder
