July 4th, Independence Day in the United States is coming up in just a few days. Where did June go?
I wanted to make a quick card for people in my family who have helped keep the U.S. free. It is funny how you have an idea in your head and then it changes when you actually start stamping.
Originally, I wanted a Night of Navy background with Real Red and Basic White stripes and a verse about celebrating.
I cut all my card stock and decided the verse didn't show up the way I wanted on red and white. After taking my card apart a few times (once to get rid of the red stripes and then deciding the white stripes needed "something") I changed my sentiment to Thanks from Biggest Wish. Next, I need a shape to punch or cut out the verse. I used my Tailor Made Tags since I haven't used those yet. I needed another layer, so I decided on Real Red in a larger tag.
Once I placed the the two tags together, it looked like a set of military dog tags. I added some silver cording that I have had forever to represent the chain dog tags are worn on. So this became my final card- NOTHING like I had originally planned.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July.
Until next time,
