I am a tad late posting this card as the glorious 250th Anniversary of this great country was celebrated last week, but I wanted to share anyway as I love this country and am so blessed to be able to live here in freedom that was so fervently fought for by our forefathers!
This card was inspired by a monthly project share challenge from my Stampin' Up Upline Anna...and this month's challenge/share was "Patriotic Pride"!
I think Fourth of July is one of my most favorite Holidays, so you'd think with all my hoarders craft stash that I would have TONS of patriotic themed stuff to make this card, but sadly, when I went to get started on this card, I realized I was woefully short on supplies for this particular Holiday!
I did what I could with what I had on hand and just convinced myself to "Make it Work!" and I hope I did...
