Making a 4th of July card without red or blue is quite challenging. I printed out a copy of the Declaration of Independence, cut it out and glued it to a piece of gray cs. The fireworks and sentiment are embossed in gold on the vellum overlay, which is attached with gold eyelet stars. Enjoy your 4th of July weekend!

Well, hello there, Lois!!! For not knowing what direction to go, you sure came out with a winner! This is fantastic. How creative to use the Declaration of Independence.

I love this. The gold fireworks remind me of those great big ones that seem to just keep falling from the sky. I think they call them crysanthmums (sp??). Anyway, love the vellum overlay.
