For HIMCR Blogiversay #2, I did birthday card in patriotic colors . . . using some of my favorite papers from PaperTemptress along with a new stamp set and banner dies I just received from Papertrey Ink.  The papers I used were Vintage Silver Luster, Navy mica/metallic and Jupiter Red mica/metallic text papers.  Here's how it turned out:

I just love the look of patriotic colors of these wonderful papers . . . they are so shimmery and have wonderful textrue, which is why they are my all-time, go-to favorite papers. :)

Remember, you have one (1) week to get your project in to HIMCR to be eligible to the PaperTemptress prize.  HIMCR Blogiversay #3 will be up at 1pm CST, so please stop back to see what inspiration we have for you.
