Wishing all my fellow Americans a Happy 4th of July! Hope you have a great time with family & friends as we celebrate our country & pray for better days ahead. The Ten Minute Craft Dash challenge is to make a card with stars. Yesterday's card would have been great except it took me 11 minutes. I'll tell you, 10 minutes is not very long--LOL! Decided to really simplify things & sure enough, hubby timed this card to take 6 minutes & 59 seconds--yah! Now I have a card ready for next year! All these stamps are old unmounted rubber that I attach to my acrylic block with Poster Tape. I don't know the company for the fireworks but the others are by Art Impressions, an Oregon company where I taught some classes until they closed their retail store about 10 years ago. I added Stickles to the fireworks & the stars--very pretty in person but I couldn't get it to show very well in a picture. This is my second card for the Simon Says Stamp patriotic challenge. Have to work this morning, but I'll be visiting your blogs soon. Thanks for stopping by again.
Happy 4th of July Greta, love your card and how you used stickles to gave a different accent.
