Hello! I hope you are keeping cool in this sweltering heat! I had to walk somewhere at 10:30 this morning and it felt like a 100 degrees already!! It is getting close to July 4th! I can't believe it is right around the corner. I am entering this card in the Impression Obsession challenge -- Red, White and Blue and also in Top Tip Tuesday's challenge -- Stars and Stripes. I used the Impression Obsession Porch with Flag stamp E1726. My tip is this -- to give the card a little more emphasis, I used Flower Soft on the flowers by the porch and used my distress tool around the oval, then sponged blue ink on it. Thanks for dropping by. Have a good day!
Wow, April!! I really like the FS and all! The way you did your bow is fun too! Thanks for playing and good luck in the drawing!!
ReplyDeleteA perfect card to July 4th and a great tip too. Thanks for joining Top Tip Tuesday. Elaine
