Hooray

Here's my patriotic card making, attempt two.  It's been hard for me to find cuts that go with a patriotic theme, probably because I tend to buy more of the cutesy cartridges.  But, like I said on my last patriotic card post, it's been a good challenge to try to stretch myself in that way.

This card uses patterned paper from the same line as the stars that I used in my other red, white, and blue card (from Paper Studio's All Seasons 2).  I cut a 5.25 inch oval from George and then cut the word "Hooray" from Lyrical Letters.  I used the Fit to Length feature at 5 inches- I think it ended up cutting it at around 3.5 inches that way.  The fireworks originally had some stars included, but I cut them off to focus more on the firework.  I cut it in red, and then Stickled it with Candy Cane Stickles for a little sparkle.
