Celebrate!

I know...I'm a day late. I meant to post this yesterday. Had it all set up - my usual blog-blab, the pictures, etc etc and then I set the date and time. And that's where I failed ... I scheduled my release for August 4th. I hang the ol' noggin in shame. Is anyone celebrating something, anything on the 4th of August? If you are, then this card's for you.

The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #42 - lovely simple number. I used the colours from ColourQ #144 - gorgeous combo. For inspiration, I hopped over to Bearly Be Mine #42 "Ribbon & Bow" and Paper Pretties "Celebrate".

No patterned paper on this card. ALL card stock. The colours are so vibrant I wanted to keep it simple... yeah, you heard right!

Went to town with the embossing - both wet and dry! For the blue background I used Crafts Too "Daisies" folder.  The red CS was given Cuttlebug's "Swiss Dots" treatment. The sentiment is by WMS, heat embossed with Stampendous Fine White EP. Somehow 3 red blings snuck in...

White brad and foam tape did their bit to hold the panels down.

Some sheer white ribbon and bow complete this party.

On the inside added a panel with stars and layers of red, white and blue... maybe next year I'l turn up on time!

I hear a beer can click and a familiar satisfied grunt. That's my cue to get dinner going. Conversation is over-rated! Have a great day, Crafty Cronies. I'll see you tomorrow!

Beijinhos  and hugs and oplqmumooo

p.s. no more Martini... until after dinner ;-)


p.p.s. Looking for creative inspiration? How about swinging by Make It Monday #97? Tons of good stuff there!
