Serving our Country? You are Absolutely Fabulous!

Happy 4th of July tomorrow!  To all of you who serve our United States of America so faithfully, here's a THANK YOU card for you - you ARE absolutely fabulous!

I followed a Mojo Monday sketch for this card and love how it turned out!  The 'stitches' are just paper pierced holes with fine marker lines connecting them.  For the flower, I layered 2 scallop circles and cut between the petals.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Upsy Daisy . . . Sponged

More daisies for you today!  I experimented on this Upsy Daisy card a bit - I sponged the image with Soft Suede ink (sponge dauber and ink pad) and So Saffron reinker (on a sponge dauber), added some background splatters with a stamp, and sponged an amethyst sky.

I added buttons and paper piercing and sponged edges for a bit more detailing.

And a little stamping for the inside:
