Trash to Treasure Art: Independance Day

Independance Day

Well for us in the U.S , Were about to celebrate our 4th Of July. I thought this card would fit the bill. Stamps are from Artistic Outpost Hero's plate. I used the Antique Wallpaper tutorial from TJ with the star cuttlebug Embossing folder. So light up those fireworks, grill a hot dog or two and have a safe 4th of July!

guess it is good that i was not able to take a couple of days off to drive to your garage sale. i would have bought way too much. but i sure could have used that paint rack.
