4th of July inspiration

 

Now that July has started

we see the red white and blue decorations,

cards and tags popping up everywhere,

so here I have my 4 days of ideas for you.

Starting with this card today that

you can make in a jiffy.

 

Take a piece of white cardstock

and some colored washi tape.

I found this cool looking red, white and blue tape.

Just tape it to your card for a background.

Don't cover all the white,

just a bit in the middle.

 

I took Michael Strongs mini cloisonné stars

and embossed them in gold.

The border I colored with a little red and blue ink

and fastened them after cutting out

with a piece of foam tape to the background.

 

As for the sentiment, I made it up

by using part of the Happy Birthday sentiment.

It is a bit tricky to do, but with 

some practice on another piece of paper

first it worked out pretty neat.

The number is also a stamp by Michael Strong

embossed in gold and colorde with

red and blue ink.

Have a creative day!
