4th of July project

The second part(out of 4) of my assignment for Craft Warehouse was to do a layout and 2 cards for fourth of July. The first card that I did I used the die cut machine and cut out the star border and then embossed each star in alternating colors. Then to top in off, I just added a few embellishments.


The second card that I did I used Tim Holtz fragments to make a four and made it stand out by using all of the different pattered papers that I had. I also cut out the circle to go over the top and then added ties to two of the corners for added embellishments. I really love how this turned out!

I decided to do a 6X12 layout. I had a lot of fun with this using a picture of the boys from their first fourth of July last year. (You can't read their shirts very well but they say "Mommy's little firecracker 08") For the bottom border I twisted together some red/white/blue different ribbons. I also embossed the "July" and used red crackle paint for the "4th." Then it was just some edge distressing and tearing.
