Obviously too late to mail any more July 4th cards this year, but I'm taking one to a co-worker tomorrow. When I saw the CASology cue word: fireworks, I knew I wanted to make her card using one of my fireworks stamps. All the stamps on this card are old unmounted rubber ones I've hardly used, but really like. If you have any here's a tip: mount them to your acrylic block with Poster Tape--works great! I know the stars background is by Art Impressions (another Oregon company!) but I don't know about the others--too long ago & no markings on them. I intended to have this card also be my entry for the 10 Minute Craft Dash, but it took me 11 minutes. I had everything planned out & written down, so I must just be slow--LOL! I made it under 10 minutes with another card I'll post later this week. My inks are Brilliance Rocket Red & Mediterranean Blue--2 old favorites. I see Simon Says Stamp has a Patriotic challenge now, so I'll enter this card over there, too. So glad you took time to visit my blog.
