Happy 4th of July!

I hope you have a great 4th of July celebrating our nation's birth.

This is one of the 4th of July cards I made this year.

The base of the card is a blank kraft cardstock card that measures 5" by 6.5".

I chose the digital stamp Sailor from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers and Promarkers. I cut it out with a Spellbinders die and layered it on top of 4 pieces of cardstock/patterned paper.

The paper with anchors and the red paper with white dots came from the Nautical Digital paper pack by Prettygrafikdesign on Etsy. I printed the paper on my HP Photo Printer. I never run out of ink using my HP Instant Ink subscription.

I chose the Tim Holtz sentiment "Let Freedom Ring".

Waiting for the Parade Patriotic Card

Click on image to enlarge.  

I made this patriotic card to celebrate our Independence Day on the 4th of July. 

This is how I made the card:
I started with a blank kraft cardstock card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The background patterned paper is from the "Independence Day" digital paper pack from PrettyGrafikDesign on Etsy. I printed the digital paper on white cardstock with my HP Envy Photo 7855 Printer using ink from the HP Instant Ink program.

I chose the digital stamp "Waiting for the Parade" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers and Windsor and Newton Promarkers/Brushmarkers. I cut/embossed the image with an oval Spellbinders die. I than cut a scalloped oval Spellbinders die out of white cardstock and mounted the image on the scalloped oval. I used double-sided tape to attach the image to the patterned paper.

I embellished the card with a piece of USA ribbon across the bottom of the card.
