RRR Patriotic Challenge Card "God Bless America"


Hello Everyone!
Wow July 1st already! That means it is time for another fun Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge!
Hope you will come join us @ Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings for our "Patriotic" challenge.
Be creative, have some fun, and enter for a chance to win an awesome prize!

My sample card was done using this beautiful "Let Freedom Ring" digital stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps.
I colored it with Tombows, added some sparkly embossing on the stars, metallic watercolor on the pole and chalked in some clouds.
The papers I used are all from The Paper Temptress.
I chose to only use one embellishment on this card so it would show off that gorgeous Royal Blue Swirls ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. It is one of my all time favorites!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
One Stitch at a Time - Stars and Stripes
Quirky Crafts - Ribbons
Stamptacular Sunday - Stars and Stripes
Cuttlebug Spot - Independence Day
All Sorts - Embossing

Please head over to our design team blog and see the other beautiful samples the rest of the team have prepared for you. I am sure they will get your creative mojo juices flowing! ;)

As always, I appreciate any comments you would like to send my way!
Hope you all have a safe, happy and healthy holiday weekend!

Hugs,
True :D
