A Card for the Fourth of July..

When I saw this week's Cupcake Inspiration, I was inspired to create a card for this week's upcoming holiday (I would actually rather make cupcakes-but I am trying to fit into a bridesmaids' dress and a swimsuit by August, so I'll make a card). I used Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Patriotic Collection (digistamps and card printables), some lace and ribbons from my stash, Making Memories Upholstery Brads, and a little stickpin that I made for a swap. To make the stickpin, I took a pearl floral corsage pin, and added a little blue star shaped bead with tiny rhinestones embedded in it, and a tiny red glass bead, glued together with a tiny drop of Aleene's metal and jewelry adhesive.I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Card Patterns: sketch
ABC Designs blog: red, white, and blue
Cards Blog Challenge: 4th of July or BBQ Invitation
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #38: Use a digital image
Cupcake Inspirations: photo
One Stitch At a Time: Stars and Stripes

Thank you for taking the time to look at my creation, now, head over to Lindsay's blog for a freebie and links to the rest of the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff design team!
