Red, White & Blue Heroes 🇺🇸

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

 Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! Nothing says summer like the 4th of July holiday! Too bad most of the usual fireworks & parades will not be held this year. Since I'm not likely to see any fireworks (unless someone nearby starts firing them off), I put some on my card.

Just recently I rec'd this new set of fireworks dies & thought they would look great w/ these soldier silhouettes. I first arranged 3 of the set like you see, & die cut them, making sure to leave enough room for the soldiers. Then I put it into my Misti & stamped them several time w/ the Paris dusk ink. After I added the greeting, I used a fine line red pen to add just a little outline to the word Hero. 

Then I had to find something to go behind the fireworks cut outs. Nothing really seemed right to me, so I sponged on some of the red & blue Distress inks then used a white Posca pen to make the white scribbles. The scattering of stars were added across the top.

Here's the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend & a Happy Independence Day!
