Freedom for the 4th


Thank you everyone for the get well wishes. Now that I am feeling a little better I thought I had better finish up a few of my July 4th cards.
This one came together pretty quickly using the BoBunny Liberty paper.  Freedom was stamped in Night of Navy and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The banner die is new as I just purchased it from A Cut Above by Verve.    


Clear star rhinestones from Pizzazz Aplenty top off the stars on the paper.


For the inside of the card,  I split up the phrase so it would fit.  I just did a little masking before I stamped  :-) 


Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians up North!  I'm still getting caught up on my email and making the rounds.
