Actually I had started on this card before I noticed this month's Waltzingmouse Waltz theme. It is a birthday card for our grandson but it would work just as well for a Fourth of July celebration card. Happy Birthday, USA! Here is a link to Claire's blog where you can get more info and see lots of red, white and blue beauties. How sweet of her to choose an Americana theme for this month!
I had this tissue paper with the happy birthday sentiments and had planned to use it for a recent MIM challenge at PTI. I've never used tissue on cardstock before and love the easy, fun effect. I already had my stars cut out so with a tag die, a button and some twine it came together so quickly. I am trying out more CAS designs and have really been enjoying the results.
It's so hard to believe it is almost the 4th of July! OMG, it makes me think I should be working on Christmas projects!!
Thanks for stopping by........
