I thought I would share a few cards I made for the holiday (yes, I sent a few Fourth of July cards!). This first one was made for our friend Michael. He is a history professor and actually sent us a card and noted that it is the 236th birthday of our great country.
Stamps: Viva Las Vegas Stamps, Papertrey Ink
Paper: Papertrey Ink
Ink: Memento Black
Misc.: Really Reasonable Ribbon, Copic Markers, Felt Star
The next two cards I made for our parents. I used the splatter technique that Tim Holtz showed for his new July 2012 tag. I thought it would be fun to use on these. They mimic fireworks.
Stamps: Stampsmith, Papertrey Ink
Paper: Ranger Gloss White, Papertrey Ink White
Ink: Archival Black (for Lady Liberty), Alcohol Inks, Archival Blue (Sentiments), Stampin' Up Red
Misc: Really Reasonable Ribbon, Tim Holtz Vintage Labels
May each of you have a safe and fun-filled holiday! I hope you will join me in taking a moment from our festivities to give thanks for this great nation and for all those who are currently serving in our military who are sacrificing so much to keep us safe and sound.

I love these cards!! They are wonderfull winnie!
Winnie, thank you for your lovely comments! The weather here is getting better (more sunny!) and today is a hot day, finaly! But, we get all sorts of weather; from heat-waves to snowstorms, depending on the season. It's just that some summers turn out pretty rainy and then the winter starts again. Hopefully not this year!
I bought some magnetic-sheets and I've put them in plastic sleeves which go into a binder. I hope it will turn out to be a good working storage solution for me! I'm still waiting for my spellbinders and couting down the days untill my b-day! (august 9th, just 1 month away!) Can't wait to get started with my big shot!
Love those splatter fireworks! And the image on the first card is adorable.
Really love the splatter fireworks too! I don't make cards that often but wish I had documented them like you do!
Those are great cards Winnie! Hope your holiday was pleasant. Happy Thursday!
I really like your work. It has kind of a mod-Victorian feel. Very cool.
