Another 4th of July

Wanted to make a card with my new June 2024 large die of the month summertime vacay by Spellbinders. Started by die cutting the wave & sea confetti die by HA on ocean cardstock then cut just below half and blended a bit of distress ink prize ribbon set aside and then die cut the pieces of club’s die set all in white card stock. Colored with distress inks on the clouds and water breaks or whatever is called used the leftover of the brush from lost shadow, on the chair and pole of the umbrella full straight with lost shadow, for the chair and umbrella candied apple, prize ribbon for the inside of the umbrella fired brick, for the sun fossilized amber and spiced marmalade, for the sand brushed corduroy and gathered twigs.

Placed everything on the card on another layer of ocean cardstock then mounted to an A2 white card base

4th of July

It was time to make cards for the Heroes in my city the Algona PD this time around used sketched flag background stamp by Taylored Expressions with classic stampin spot cherry cobbler and distress oxide prize ribbon then die cut with infinity nested rectangle die set by HA then mounted to some cardstock that had given to me by a friend that was already cut so just had to cut a bit more, this card was just over A2

For the center die cut the map from stars & strips stamp & die combo also by Taylored Expressions three layers blended with distress ink vintage photo and stamped message with prize ribbon
