Hello crafting friends: My teammates and I at SHOPPING OUR STASH have a new challenge for you to play with that is just in time for the fast approaching 4th. of July celebrations.
Here is my card to inspire you join us in the gallery.
This sweet image is from a 2009 Flourishes stamp set called "Patriotism on Parade", I love all the images on this set but this one is my favorite.
I stamped it on watercolor paper with Versafine black ink and clear heat embossed it then, colored it with SU markers, the pattern paper is from a small stash of patriotic papers, the ribbon was a left over piece that I died with some thread, the flower is a sticker. The fireworks are from a set by The Ton called PYROTECHNICS which I heat embossed with glitter embossing powder and the white heat embossed sentiment from a Power Poppy set called "Marcella's Mixed Tape Vol. 1"
**********************************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The border is from a retired SU set called "Bordering Blooms", the little girl waving the Flag is from the Patriotism on Parade set.
I would like to play along with the following challenges.
