4th of July Explosion card

Good morning everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond and this time we would like you to create a card with an Explosion Insert. Here's a quick tutorial if you are not familiar with this type of card.

My card features a cute Uncle Sam image from Pixie Dust Studios- the shop is temporarily closed so it's not available to purchase at this time. It's colored with Copics, the sentiment is from Stampendous and I used Simon Says Stamp dies for the stitched rectangles. Both star papers are from Pebbles, the striped paper and fishtail flag dies are from My Favorite Things.

And for the inside... I used a Stampendous stamp for the stars, Kim Hughes Stamps for the 'American the beautiful' sentiment & fireworks and to finish it up I added a couple of white glitter dots.

I hope you can join us and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog to check out the rest of the teams beautiful creations!

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment!
