Patriotic Card #2

This is a second patriotic card that I made for Operation Write Home.  I was inspired by this card on Pinterest.  All the patterned papers came from the Vintage Nation stack by the Paper Studio.  I love that paper stack!
The stars, circle and banner die cuts are all from the shapes built in to SCAL2.  I used light brown chalk on the banner and dark brown chalk around the kraft star to add visual interest.  The circular star stamp and the freedom stamp are from Clear Dollar Stamps.

The patriotic theme of this card makes me think of summer, the Fourth of July, BBQ's, and sitting outside in the heat watching fireworks!  We always get together with family and have picnics and go to the beach. The whole season is so refreshing.  I love summertime and am so glad it is finally here!

If you missed the patriotic card I posted yesterday, you can see it here.

Did you see the new SVG set at SVG Attic?  It is called Vintage Nation and it features the exact same paper stack I used on this card!!

On  a side note, it appears as if Google reader will soon cease to exist on your blogger dashboard.  I have chosen Bloglovin my replacement reader and I hope that you will follow my blog with Bloglovin (button is on top right sidebar) especially if you are a current Google reader follower, so you wont miss anything from my blog.  Thanks to all who have chosen to follow my crafty posts :)

    Thank you Beth for your kind comment. I've paid your flip flops a visit and have to say I feel like a fraud just colouring in when yours are so dimensional and textural!!
