Work of Art Patriotic Card

In lieu of tomorrow being the 4th of July I thought I would make a patriotic card. I don't usually do cards like this, so that means that I had to go out on the net for some inspiration.  I found a card made by Melissa at "The Stamp Doc" and I ran with it.    I did change it a bit.  I added a star to the center of the blue field and I also added the "hello" at the bottom.  The "hello" is from the "Label Something" set.  

I also used the Real Red and Night of Navy ink pads for my card.

My nephew is in the military and he now has an address where I can mail him.  SO I thought I would not only make the patriotic card but I would also make it a "hello" card to him.  Tomorrow afternoon I will take some time out to write to him and have it all ready for Saturday's mail.  

This was such a quick card to make.  There is something about the looks of this card that I just love.  Perhaps that is why I had to copy it!  Right?  LOL

I will not be posting tomorrow.  I am going to take the 4th of July off to kick back and enjoy the day doing other things that I love to do and a few things that I have neglected.

I hope you all have a fun and a very safe 4th!

Thank you ever SO much for visiting today,
