Happy 4th!
I don't have a patriotic card to show you today but at least I have a card! LOL!!! We had a busy day doing yard work, swimming, lighting sparklers, having S'mores and then fireworks! What a fun day we have had!
The layout of my card today is based "LOOSELY" on today's sketch for you to try ~
The base of my card is SU!s new Soft Suede with a mat of Whisper White and then a decorative piece from K&Co's Ancestry Collection. The frame was cut from Soft Suede CS using THIS Spellbinders Frameability. I cut the bottom scrolled piece from the frame to make this fit. The center frame (also included with the large frame set) was cut and embossed using vellum card stock. I mounted it on top of a Soft Suede CS and added the SU! buttons on each side and the bottom. The bottom button has some Martha Stewart branches poking out. The beautiful sentiment is from Verve's, Beautiful You set (which is on sale right now!) and was stamped on Whisper White using Soft Suede ink. I got my new in colors from SU! and must say that Soft Suede is definitely my favorite color....so far!!! LOL!!!
Hope you have had a wonderful weekend!
