Happy 4th of July!

Summer is heating up and July 4 is just around the corner! I hope you have plans for a summer cookout and maybe a little light show when the stars come out! Today I'm playing along at the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge where they're looking for Red, White and/or Blue!

I'm smitten with the Pretty Pink Posh new Fourth of July Set! My card starts with a craft background that I added some texture paste to. I used a mini polka dot stencil and some light molding paste. To add some solid spaces for my colored images I tore some white core card stock in red and blue and added it to the corners.
  
Now for the fun part! EMBELLISHING! I added fireworks, a sentiment and some banners that were colored with Copic Markers. Some silver jewels make things sparkle and shine like the night time stars!
I had fun stamping with colored ink which is something that I definitely don't do enough! I love that this set includes the "America" word die cut. A simple stamped strip finishes off the sentiment!
Wishing you a happy 4th of July! Let the summer good times keep going strong!
