A Grandin Road catalog came in the mail and I found loads of inspiration in it and passed the idea along to Audrie. I thought others might perhaps find inspiration as well.
My 4th of July card was inspired by: BUNTING and UNCLE SAM.... whom I turned into a patriotic female angel

A wonderful patriotic card, Sallie, and a great job combining your 2 inspired pieces. Your coloring is terrific, but once again, I am amazed at your brayering!

Thanks Sallie for providing the inspiration journey today Love your folksy, inspired creation, and I don't know why, but my eye particularly picked up on the beautiful graduation of your blue bg shading!! I had a quilted wallhanging pattern a number of years back with folksy angels that this brings back to mind. A fun patriotic tribute done up with your impeccable attention to colour, style and detail.
