SKY ROCKET!

Here is another of the cards I did for the 4th of July.  I saw this card in one of my card making books and really thought it was a great card.  I decided to do the design for my 4th of July cards.  Well, I ended up only doing 4 of them as they were pretty labor intensive with all the wire and bead work, lol.  I had 19 cards to do and I knew that it would take way too long to get them all done if I did just this design.  Maybe if I had started sooner . . . 

My version of the card is a bit different than the original.  I made mine into an easel card.  It's such a cute design, I felt it needed to be able to be shown better.  The silver stars were ready made goodies, the wooden piece is a match stick, and the rocket is raised with pop dots.  On the bottom piece the the greeting frame is cut from "Tags" by Nestabilities and I used some Stickles on it for sparkle.  I then added some red, white & blue rhinestones to hold the card open.  Fun card!


HAPPY 4th OF JULY EVERYONE!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!








I entered this card in a challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room.  Their theme is Happy 4th of July.
