***********************
I wanted a card 4th July (independence) day card for a US friend and thought this was the ideal opportunity. I managed to find some papers in my download collection with stars on them and the stripe is some I found in my stash. My image - Spring Blossoms - is coloured with distress inks and matted and layered with the red then white embossed with the tiny bubbles folder. The corners are cut with the vintage corner die and I added two ribbon flowers at the edges of the ribbon - you remeber the ones we used to make at school - folding the two ends of the ribbon back on themselves, then pulling the loose end until a flowers appeared.

Materials
Red paper - the Card Co., blue - downloaded : Image - Spring Blossoms : Medium Ranger distress inks : Provocraft vintage corners & tiny bubbles embossing folder : Ribbon from stash

Another fabulous creation!!! I love the scroll work in the corners...reminds me of the historic architecture in DC, the beautiful patriotic background papers, the wonderful ribbon blossoms, the dry embossing, and the darling little mice:o) You always think of the most fabulous details.
