Mary gave us a fun and timely challenge with her all-American colors this week - and of course the perfect dessert - patriotic!
I don't make many July 4th cards so my stamp selection was limited but I did have this set which I had never used.
That little squirrel's face is just adorable, and the die cut background reminds me of fireworks. I had a lot of fun coloring and putting this card together.
I hope to see your patriotic cards in the gallery this week!

Absolutely adorable Independence Day card! I love the die cut background and those fun rocket-style fireworks. This has to be the most fun 4th of July card I've ever seen : )

This is so stinkin' cute Jeanne- Love the sweet squirrel - he looks like he's up to something with his hands behind his back (lol)!!!The background die is perfect, and it does look like fireworks. You have created a great patriotic card.

This is such a twist on a patriotic theme. What an intricate design with the curved panels for your background, then the rockets AND that adorable squirrel. Well- done!

Jeanne, I love everything about this card! My favorite part, though, is the Copic coloring on the rockets. The shading is so perfect, those rockets just gleam! That background is wonderful, too!
