July 4th Card



I really like the current sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch!  & used it for my last July 4th card.  The embossed stars (Cuttlebug) have a bit of Stickles in the centers--hard to see in the photo.  The heart with the star is mounted with foam tape.  It's from a local stamp company where I taught some classes & made sample cards for their store until they went out of business. The sentiment is an old one still available from another Oregon company--Peddler's Pack.  I spent the longest time trying a variety of ribbons & finally hit upon this combination which gave me the look I wanted.  Hopefully it will make it to my cousin & his family in time for the holiday.













Check out the happenings on the Penny Black Blog.  There's lots of inspiration & prizes up for grabs!

    Perfect card for the 4th of July, as well as the challenge! Your cousin and his family will be delighted to see it in their mailbox! The Cuttlebug folder is one I have; a reminder that I should give it an 'outing' at some point! Have a fantastic Tuesday!1
