I thought that I should post a patriotic card to go along with my patriotic blog! (My blog transformation for the 4th of July isn't quite complete yet, but hopefully soon!)My fabulous MIL surprised me with this American stamp, 4th of July stamp, and pp from Achievers! Isn't she the best?! She also surprised me with other stamps, paper, and ribbon! I swear she got more stuff for me then she did herself!
Last Saturday my friend Mandey and I hit up a "stamping" garage sale! I swear it was like walking into a Stampin' Up store! I ended up buying a bag of wheels (21 to be exact) for $20!!! What a deal! I always wanted to try the wheels, but always found something else in the catalog to spend my money on! When I told my MIL about this great deal, she gave me her wheel handle, another wheel, and two ink cartridges for the wheels! She also stopped by this garage sale later in the day and picked up three SU stamp sets for me and my friend Mandey! I'm tellin' ya' she is soooooo generous!!!
I used one of these wheels to create the star background on the red cardstock. It's really subtle, but it was just what the card needed. I also used a glitter pen to color in the stars and white stripes on the stamp! Thanks for looking! Happy stamping!
