I hop you all are having a wonderful 4th! We are going to a parade, having a late breakfast, cooking out, and then watching fireworks. Your basic Independence Day and I cannot wait! I love this holiday....well, except for the HEAT!
Today's card I made using the July stamp of the month and the Art Philosophy cartridge. This particular stamp set really caught my eye and I immediately thought of a project I could do with it. I stamped the entire background using the same stamp I used for the sentiment in a grey flannel ink. Then colored in the same sentiment using markers. I really like how it turned out and may use this technique again in the future.

Are you able to sell the vinyl envelopes that your CTMH stamps come in?
I need to organize my existing stamps before I buy any more.

What a sweet sentiment...It applies to crafter! This is a very effective technique. I absolutely LOVE the paper you used for the band.
Enjoy this day with your family. Happy Independence Day!
Pretty card and colors. Love the way you did the background.
Pretty card and a great sentiment. Nice TFS
I agree with many others--you DO make MY world a better place. I thank you for all you share. This is a fun technique and can be adapted in many different ways....as I have done with many of your projects!

Love the colors
Love this card and the colours on it are so pretty. The stamped background is such a fun idea.
Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoy your weekend! :)
So cute. Just how do you manage those neat bows? Very talented.
Way to cute and what great words to send to someone. I also like the way you stamp the back ground paper very cool, and the stamping on the back ground doesn't over power your sentiment in color. Thanks for sharing the files. God bless you and yours.
