I Love Holland

The Netherlands is in a very festive mood

this weekend until Tuesday.

Today is the birthday of our crown prince Willem-Alexander

and he will be inaugurated as the new King on Tuesday.

So you can imagine all the orange

gadgets that can be found and

all the orange flags that are hanging everywhere.

Yes, orange is our national color,

 next to the Dutch red white and blue.
This is because the Queens is

from The House of Orange.

 These cards are made with a Technique Junkies technique

called Designer Paper Starbust

and is from the April/May 201 newsletter.

I used Michael Strong's  tulips and the mini heart stamps

with some scrapbook paper in the back.

The stamps are embossed in white on colored paper.

On both cards i used a few sticky gemstones to give the

cards some extra bling.

Have a creative day!
