Hello, friends!
Today's
Bitten By the Bug challenge, calls for a patriotic project for President's Day. Well, this time of the year, the thought of making patriotic stuff could not be further from my creative brain. Instead, I thought I would make something red, white, and blue. That counts, right?
I made this card using the
Artiste cartridge. I was going for a county fair ribbon kind of look. I cut one of the banners in half to look like a ribbon hanging down. It was one of those last minute kind of epiphanies. That little trick is definitely something I will try to remember for the future!
