Patriotic Land of the Free Mouse Blog Hop

Digi image:  From the Heart Stamps 'Mouse Balloon' (free!).  Cardstock:  GP110 white, Farm House Paper Co. 'Fair Skies', K&Co. 'Let it Snow' DP.  Ink:  Copics.

Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps blog hop!

Our theme this month is Patriotic so create something red, white, and blue!
As you hop along, please leave a comment on each entry. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store. And additionally, one commenter on the From the Heart Stamps blog will be selected to win a $15 gift voucher to the store!

If you have arrived from Imke's Crafting Creations, you are in the right place.  If not, why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.

There's also still time to join in the From the Heart's I Heart Sketch Challenge #113 because all challenges will run for two weeks during summer months.  As a bonus, this sweet new Mouse Balloon digi is FREE!!

Be sure to stop by the FTHS blog to join in the fun! Everyone who enters a card featuring a FTHS image wins a $1 credit to the store.
For my card, I used the sketch as is, obsessing over the triangles.  I think I'm more a straight line kind of gal because I had to cut the DP several times to get even close to the right slope!  The twist is to use your favorite technique which in my case is lack of techniques, otherwise known as Clean and Simple.
Now head over to Jo Edward's and admire her creation!
 
Thanks for hopping with us today. The hop will end on  Monday July 6th at 6 am EST. Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday, July 8th.

Challenges entered include:
1)  Pile it On #75:  Flag Colors
2)  Craftin' Desert Divas:  Red, White and Blue
3)  Crafty Creations #292:  Red, White, or Blue
4)  Crafty Girlz #3:  Your Flag Colors
5)  Coffee, Chocolate, and Cards #94:  Red

    Adorable! Great take on both the sketch and color combo. I fear that I may struggle with the triangles as well!

    CAS is definitely a technique and for some of us it's a real challenge. Great take on the sketch. And your cute little mouse really takes front and center. Just a fun card!
