Patriotic Card

Patriotic is the theme to get ready for Independence Day! What are your plans?  Do you love barbeque's with friends and family?  Fireworks?  Or a quiet day at home? Whichever it is, enjoy your independence and celebrate!  For this card the BoBunny paper really shined...

All I did was cut it out and adhered to a white card base. The rays are created by inking up the embossing folder and then running through my Big Shot. It not only embosses, but stamps too. Added a few stars here and there and matted on a blue pattern paper from this BoBunny collection too. Then finished with ric rac ribbon, sticker star and brad colored red with Copic marker,  and sticker letters I added just a bit of stickles glitter glue. See what else you can do with your embossing folders and have fun.

psst: Cardmaker Magazine selected two more of my cards today to be published in their Spring 2016 issue. Their top secret until their published, but I can tell you one is for Easter and the other has butterflies for Spring. So that puts me in their Autumn 2015, Winter 2015, and Spring 2016 issues.
