Born on the Fourth of July

One of the things I've really liked about participating in challenges is that I make things that I wouldn't have made otherwise.  I doubt I would have ever made a Fourth of July card, but this was really fun!  I have this patriotic background paper from the All Seasons II pack, which was perfect.  The fireworks at the bottom and the box/firework at the top are from Wild Card.  I LOVE how Wild Card has all of these little images that you don't even think about if you don't check it regularly.  I used the box as a place to put a sentiment.  Since I don't have any patriotic themed sentiments, I used "celebrate" from Scripted Year.  It's a Pink by Design stamp.  I finished up with three little pearls on the bottom left side and it's all ready to go!



I plan to enter this in the following challenges:
More than Favors- Fourth of July
Scrappy Moms- Patriotic Pride
Simply Create Too- Country Where you Live
Bitten by the Bug 2- Patriotic
My Sheri Crafts- Patriotic
Pin It

  8. Great card. You are oh so right, if you don't check that cartridge there is so much you miss. Of course, I guess that's true of all the cartridges. I love how you put the sentiment in the fireworks frame to go with the other fireworks on the card. Thanks for playing at BBTB2.
