4th of July BJ Little Bea Card

Created this 4th of July Card with the theme of a girl watching a 4th of July Parade. Used a digi from Stitchy Bear, BJ Little Bea, that I had won. Used Stand & Salute Cricut cartridge for the flag the girl is waving.

Used Kraft cardstock including regular & americana as well as scrapbook paper. Used Spellbinders dies & corner rounder for shaping the edges of the cardstock. Colored the digi using Crayola colored pencils. Used Spellbinder for tag. Heat embossed the sentiment. Added red/white/blue ribbon to the tag. For the red/white/blue flowers I colored white flowers using Tim Holtz Distress Inks. Added a star button to the flag, to the center of the flowers & to the girl's shoes. Placed the flag to be waved by the girl.
