In celebration of July 4th this year, I am sharing a card I made this past weekend for a challenge honoring this holiday. I have used the Altenew Stellar Cascade 3D Embossing folder for this design which I had just received.
While all of the examples on the Altenew website were Christmas designs for this folder, I thought it was great for the 4th of July celebration.
I used a multi colored star printed paper and a dark blue Memento ink with the folder. My ink pad was a tear drop style which was great for inking the points of star. After embossing, I trimmed the paper down to 5 1/4" and made a 5 1/2" red card base. I secured the embossed piece to the front then added the tiny USA that I'd cut from a scrap of paper.
I stamped the scripture sentiment from the Sweet 'n Sassy set, The Lord is Near. I trimmed it close to the words and added a red mat out of the same paper as the card base. After securing the sentiment at the bottom right corner, I added two red sparkly stars to the center of each of the stars to complete my design.
Wishing you and your family a safe and Happy 4th of July celebration!
