... Land of the Free


Happy 4th July to all my USA buddies. I have a very restrained 4th July card for you, which is probably not at all in keeping with the overall festivities, but since this card started out as an experiment, and since I am feeling a bit below par, I'm just glad to get it finished.

I hope you all have a wonderful 4th - whether you are celebrating or not.

I used the Brogue dies to make this, I like how the front panel turned out - I also embossed a little with my scorpal, abut I think I should have used a darker blue ink for the USA1776 sentiment. 
Ah well...

    Thanks for the greeting Claire. I think it's perfect...it kind of counterbalances the craziness of overdone fireworks with dignity. I'm definitely going to order the Brogue Dies. By the way, my Granddaughter cannot get enough of your Statue of Liberty.
