Good morning!
I went wild with the stamps this morning, lol!
I decided to do a good old country cowboy 4th of July
celebration for both cards.
Every town in America has their own way to celebrate
and I would imagine that there are plenty of cowboy towns
where a big pot luck and country dance is how they celebrate.
I like the couple's matching outfits and denim boots, how about you?
I have a thing about cowboy boots, they are actually the only "dress shoes" I have.
You can imagine that I have lots of boots in about every color I wear plus a few brown type
with different designs. I DO have a pair of denim blue boots, love them.
I used some threaded star buttons to embellish this card. No dies used,
just a cutter and score-it. I also used some glitter pens and a dot of Stickles to enhance the stars (you can't really see that in the photos, sorry.
In our town, because we have a mountain lake near by, we do the all day picnic and watch the fireworks at the lake reflecting off the lake, especially fun to watch in the lake on a boat.
Because we have had so many fires all around in recent years they do no fireworks but
people still have their picnics at the lake.
My next card is a patriotic tribute to those country
cowboys who helped to make this country free
by hanging up their hats for a bit (or forever) and serving
their country to fight for us.
I used a star embossing folder with a letter press technique for the background
and to add something more I cut some red strips. The sentiment was cut
apart using the bottom half for the pennant under the image and cutting out
the U.S.A. to curve above the image. I did use a glitter pen
on the U.S.A. as well. The die is from My Favorite Things.
Thanks for visiting today, go be crafty!
