Hello Everyone,
Today I will be playing along with Watercooler Wednesday and CAS(E) this Sketch. The U.S. just celebrated our Independence Day and thought this card would be appropriate. I left the sentiment ambiguous so I could be used for either a birthday, holiday party (well, not yet anyway), or anytime card. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

| The background of fireworks was created about two months ago. I wanted to play around with foil and enjoyed how it turned out. This is the image that inspired the subject of the card. The Statue of Liberty is from Stamppeddler. It is part of a larger image but I liked the shading (as I do with all their products) and thought cutting out the statue would give the illusion of the fireworks reflecting on the statue. |

This card seems easy and it probably would have been but I wanted to get the sketch exact. I brought it into Photoshop Elements, cropped it to size, and printed it out. I then cut the sketch out and traced it on my CS and cut it out- creating a window.

The red swish was originally white CS but it looked stark with no personality. I carefully added some liquid glue on the strip and added red glitter. I thought it gave the design pop. It also made my decision on the sentiment color.
