Happy 4th of July! I thought I’d make it a beach one this year since I’m usually on a beach every year! Every year except this one – go figure! So I’m bringing the beach to my 4th of July. Usually we’re traveling this week, but today we’re hanging poolside Florida style. I hope you have fabulous plans yourself – here’s a little good ‘ol Red, White and Blue for you from us here at The Creative Grove!
Creative Tips –
- I needed a quick and simple card for today, so I created my own flag using Painters Tape and my Real Red Inkpad.
- For my star field I used a piece of Midnight Muse that I distressed on the edges using the Distressing Tool – love that thing!
- I popped up my stars for a little depth to the card.
- I also matted my flag on a 1/16” border of Midnight Muse before going with a 1/8” border of Real Red.
- I stamped the inside as well with the starfish to carry on the theme, in addition to my envelope.
- I wanted a beach feel, so I grabbed my By the Seashore stamp set and used the starfish! I can see this card in Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake for a Cape Cod feel too!
It’s a quick and easy one – and I hope you love the result. Off to get my ribs started and make the slaw! Happy 4th!
