    Liberty Collection Cards with Andrea Shell

    June 8, 2021 / 3 Comments

    Hello! It’s Andrea Shell from blissfullyscrappy.net with you today. I had the pleasure of creating with the Liberty Collection recently and have two cards to share with you.  This collection is lots of fun and pairs perfectly with the previously-released Sunday Drive Etched Dies. For my first card, I stayed true to the theme of the collection and created a fun, patriotic card. From colored, metallic, and foil cardstocks, I die-cut the various elements with the Liberty Sunday Drive and Sunday Drive Die sets. I adhered all of the pieces together with liquid adhesive. To create that festive background, I started by inking up a 5″x7″ panel of cardstock with…
