Q-tips and Patriotism
>> Wednesday, July 4, 2018
Today is a special day in the United States - a day full of barbecue, hot dogs, fireworks, and family. Red, white, and blue are the reigning colors. My card today celebrates all of that. It also celebrates Q-tips. Yes, Q-tips. I made the striped background of today's cards with a bunch of Q-tips bundled together and dipped in ink. It is a way to do warp speed pointillism.
This was super fun to make, and I will never look at Q-tips the same way again!
Hugz and Happy 4th of July if you are celebrating it.

Nancy, this is amazing! Can't believe you created that background with Q tips, so creative! Love your cut out star wreath in silver & gold. Very pretty! Happy 4th of July!
Wonderful patriotic card, Nancy! Your bg looks amazing (they always do!). Love the grid tile look & wreath of cut out stars. Yep..I'm thinking it's time for hubs to fire up the grill! I just wish it wasn't so dang humid outside.
Oh I love this card! Your bg is really really cool! Looks like OLD glory and love the ring of stars! Amazing card Nancy!
I love your super patriotic card, Nancy! That's an awesome background and your fussy cutting is amazing!
Another incredible background Nancy! What a great idea using a group of q-tips! Fantastic job cutting out the stars too!
Your backgrounds are always amazing and this is no exception! I can't believe it was made with q tips! Love the tip to bundle them together for a speedy (ish) project :) Perfect post for the 4th!
