Patriotic Mini Hop and A Little Blog Candy


Good morning Friends,

Today’s post is for the Creative Cutter Room Design Team. We are having a mini hop Patriotic Style!  Here is the direct link to start at the beginning.

So in keeping with our hop and with our Week of Graphic 45 sponsorship this is what I came up with.

cricut one nation under Elohim-450
http://www.mypapercrafting.com/2011/02/patriotic-mini-hop-and-little-blog.html
Here is a view of my layout. I used the Graphic 45 Playtimes Past Life’s A Ball Paper.
The required elements for the hop – challenge are:
At least one button
Banner or Flag
Some Type of Metal Embellishment
3-D Element
cricut liberty bell
Here is  a close up shot of the Liberty Bell. I cut it out from the Cricut 4th of July Cartridge. The Flag is a K & Company embellishment.

cricut finished liberty bell
Here is a close up of the liberty bell die cut.

cricut painting1 liberty bell
I started with a plain white die cut. I sponged Gold Ink on it. I Dabbed or pounced the paint. I wanted it to look rough and not smooth.

cricut painting liberty bell
cricut inking liberty bell
I inked the top of the base die cut with Jumbo Java Dew Drop Ink. I covered it lightly and then went back and made some deeper “lines” with the ink by inking with the edge of the pad.

cricut rosette close up2
Here is the Rosette I created and again, I used the Life’s A Beach Paper from Graphic 45. I added a nice button to the top.

cricut rosette closeup
Here is a close up shot of the scripture verse I added. It is one of the verses our church is memorizing for the year. It says:

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land
2 Chronicles 7:14

What an awesome promise from the most high God!
