F4A173 4th of July

Photo Details

Poster: Legoboy

I made this for today's Free-For-All challenge to add pleats or ruffles. I added pleated Washi Tape with the designs of the American Flag.

I am also linking this up with Unity's "Friends With Flair". I used all Unity stamps.

This is just so hip, fresh, and fun! I love that this is a patriotic card for July 4 without coming right out and saying "happy fourth of July"! Using arrows to point out the month and date is just too, too clever. I'd say you hit a homerun with this one! (PS--great pleating of that washi tape, too!)

I bet you got an in-person tutorial on the ribbon pleating - that is fabulous!! And honestly, what a clever idea to show off the date that way - you rock
