Happy 4th of July!! Welcome to Scrapbook News & Review’s “Oh Say Can You See 4th of July Blog Hop”!! If you are coming from Jennifer’s blog, then you are on the right track. If you blessed me with a visit out of the blue (or red or white), you might want to catch all the fun we’re having by starting at the beginning on Card Universe!
I am proud to be involved in such a huge blog hop – this is by far the biggest one I’ve ever seen! – so I wanted to make a special card for it. My smokin’ hot hubby went with me to Joann’s a couple weekends ago and patiently waded through their very unorganized dollar bins to find me some Studio G 4th of July stamps! There’s no way anybody could believe how supportive my hubby is of all my stamping and papercrafting needs – he’s incredible! He’s also been raving about this card (based on Kazan Clark’s sketch 29 on 2Sketches4You):

Here is a close-up of the Studio G stamps, stamped with Charcoal Brilliance pigment ink, then stamped again with Dazzle Frost Versamark (sprinkled with clear powder and heat-embossed), colored with Copics and Icicle Stickles added for bling:

Here’s a close-up of the Studio G “celebrate” sentiment, stamped in the same manner as described above:

And here’s a close-up of the popped layers – yes, I do love pop dots!!!

I just adore your cards! You do fabulous work!
Oh you are so lucky to have such a supportive husband. My husband doesn’t mind my paper crafting too much because it makes me happy but I doubt I could ever get him to go to Joanns with me, much less look through the dollars bins! Plus, the dollar bins are my favorite part of the store!
Boy, that card sure does stand out!!! Very nice!!!!!
