Happy Fourth of July Eve. It's all about the red, white, and blue in the US right now. Already in some places around the country, there have been Independence Day celebrations complete with picnics, parades and pyrotechnic displays. Here in my hometown, we'll be having all that 'on the day.' I can walk West half a block and see the parade if I want, and in the evening I can walk the four houses to the East with my lawn chairs and watch the fireworks go off over the Lake. Since DH is not feeling quite up to snuff, we'll probably just stay home which is fine with me.While he's still in bed this morning getting some healing rest, I had time to make a pretty QAEZ (quick and easy) card. One card, three challenges. But I'll bet if I searched all the challenges out there, I could find several more with similar themes, but I think I'll just stick to these three:
Less Is More,
Curtain Call, and
Time Out (without the topping of one-layer).
Here's my card for today:
I thing this has a bit of a masculine flavor to it as well. The stripes are from AE with Apple ink from ME. The starts are RC with navy ink, and the SSS sentiment is cut with an MFT die. One scrap of red to make that panel shine a bit more, and popped up for funsies. And now, since I have some NBUS (naughty me) sitting on my desk calling my name, and since DH is still sleeping, I might just do a bit more crafting!

Happy 4th of July! Love your sweet patriotic card. I totally love everything about it. Might have to try and CASE is somehow if that is okay! :)
Perfect patriotic card, Bev. As you can see I'm late on commenting and just going from post to post so the 4th is over but it was a good day spent at the lake. I hope your 4th was a happy one.
