Mary is getting us ready for 4th of July week with Blueberry Bushel + Real Red + White along with a patriotic theme for dessert. Do my stars make it patriotic enough? I added leaves in Mossy Meadow since this is a green in Stampin' Up!'s neutrals. You can add any of the neutrals for the color challenges.
I'm not sure I will actually use this for her birthday card, but I was thinking of my middle child as I made this. She turns 30 on the 4th of July, and she certainly is a strong woman!
I was also inspired for this card by this week's technique lover's challenge: Floral Tags.
I hope you join the challenge. I'd love to see your work in this week's gallery!

Chris, I love your gorgeous red flowers and blue stars and I am thrilled to hear that you have raised your daughter to be a strong woman. I have one like that turning 35 on the second of July.

Well, this is a more unique patriotic card, but I would say one nonetheless. I think the flowers look like poppies and those are certainly patriotic, as are your stars. It's been so fun creating with you this month. You have a lot to celebrate - Dirty Dozen, and your daughter's birthday. Have fun!! :>)

I always love a tag on a card, and this one is just wonderful! The flowers are beautiful, and I love the basket weave embossed background. Your daughter will love this!
