Since tomorrow is the US Independence Day holiday, I thought it fitting to create a card to celebrate! Tomorrow we're going to watch the fireworks over Lake Monroe. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful!!
I created this card for a couple of other challenges, too. Over at Raise the Bar, Joni's challenge is to create a card using your flag colors. I also incorporated Crafts4Eternity challenge which is their sketch, add stripes and bunting. I created my own bunting with scraps of the decorative paper I used.
This photo shows the dimension I added.
And another photo so you can see the bunting I created.
Supplies:
Card Stock: Neenah Classic Crest, Night of Navy
Paper: Digital paper designed by T Hernandez (A Cherry on Top)
Copics: B95, B97, E00, E02, E33, E37, R27, R29, Y06
Tools: CM Circle cutter, pop dots, Diamond Glaze, star punch
I can't wait to see what you do with this challenge, so head on over to Bee Crafty blog for more inspiration and to learn how to participate.
