Happy 4th!

Today is the 4th of July and most people in the states are gearing up for food and fireworks... I, however; am making cards! LOL! There will be plenty of food and fireworks later, especially the later. The neighbors already started last night and I just saw them with what looked like the entire states stash of fireworks... looks like we're in for a noisy night!

So without further ado, here is my card:The rules were simple... just use red, white and blue! I don't have a lot of these colors, so everything is inked! The background paper is actually a pale pink that I went over with my Marcella K red ink pad. The blue circle is from a chipboard chunk from Michaels. Someone gave me this chunk and I really don't like most of the designs and haven't been using it... Then, I discovered inking and that I could use the back of some of these shapes and letters! So, I've started turning them over and making them whatever color I want! Then the ribbon is plain Christmas white ribbon (one of those dollar store things that comes with red, green, gold and white all on the same spindle) that I just inked every half inch or so with blue ink. The stamp came from the Fiskars "Plumage" set.

Have a great day and be safe!
