Design Team Thursday!!!


Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Design Team Thursday, this weeks inspiration will be 4th of July related. The cartridge I am using this week is Stand and Salute, I found this wonderful cut of the Liberty bell and it's cut at 3.29, it is on an A2 size card. I have one of my mats embossed with Stars, thought it fit the Occasion. I used my star punch by EK Success for my white stars and they are  placed in the embossed stars with buttons to add extra dimension. "Celebrate" is from Joy's Life Your So Puny Stamp Set! Thought it turned out pretty good!

I will also be entering this card into Whimsical Wednesday!
