I missed you all last month and am happy to be back! What a great sampling of artwork for last months SOTM "Jubilation." I'm sure this month will provide many creative "sparks" for all of us!
If you came from Pamela's Blog, you are on the right track.... just check out my card for this month and then click on the link at the bottom of my post to stay "on the hop."
Our stamp set for this month is a patriotic set of 12 stamps called "American Celebration." Available July 1st thru 31st, this set is sure to give you plenty of options for your 4th of July Celebration pages, cards or your military pages.
My card is a standard size card with B & T paper from the "Fanfare" level 2, My Reflections Kit. I embossed on black CS in "Cranberry", and gold using two images of fireworks from this month's stamp set. I cut out the smaller of the two images and popped it up in the center of the first. I then triple matted the images in "Sunny Yellow", "Pacifica", and "Cranberry" to make it pop. I stamped and cut out the celebrate banner and stamped the firecrackers in cranberry and pacifica and cut out a white one as well drawing inthe markings. Next I cut small pieces of natural hemp and frayed the ends to look like fuses. Lastly I tied the three "firecrackers" with hemp and popped them up for dimension....here is a close up:
