Hello, blogger friends! I have a quick card to share with you today! Every year my DH and I head over to my sister-in-law's family for a wonderful 4th of July picnic. The food is always fabulous and this year the weather was just delightful…not hot and humid as usual…but pleasant and breezy! Janette's sketch today on Splitcoaststampers was the inspiration, and the new Pennant Swag 2 stamp set and matching Pennant Swag Die just released by Our Daily Bread Designs helped to make the perfect patriotic thank you card for our relatives.
Creative Nugget: The Old Flag Background was stamped three times...once on Real Red, once on Pacific Point, and once on Solar Crest card stocks. The three panels were cut and stitched together to make the background which was then stitched to Real Red and mounted to a Solar Crest card base. The white panel was embossed with stars to add to the patriotic theme. Pennant Swag 2 was stamped in Pacific Point, cut with the matching Pennant Swag Die, and popped up on the embossed panel. The Fancy Foliage and Asters and Leaves Dies were cut from left over pieces of the stamped background and added to finish the card.
Every time I see red, white, and blue, I am reminded of how much God has blessed our nation and how thankful I am to live here! Let's remember to pray for our country and for our leaders!
