The Glorious Fourth

This one was a puzzler at first.  The statue, the fireworks, and the text were all fine on their own, but the combined result was disjointed and floaty - nothing seemed unified, until I got the idea to add the frame . . .


All of a sudden, that's what did the trick.  Such a simple addition, and yet I think the layout now looks well composed and complete.

Living in America is a blessing I try to be grateful for each and every day.  After eight years of un-Constitutional domination by a willful America-hating emperor, we seem to be on track to getting our beloved country back.  I pray for the safety of Trump and his team every single day - may he not fail in his efforts to return the rule of law to America.

America

For this year’s 4th of July card, I once again dived into my collection of USPS postage stamps that were in use several years ago . . .


 

 . . . I loved the design (still do!) and find them a perfectly patriotic addition to one of America’s most important remembrances.

 

Happy Fourth of July!

America

Blue Ribbon Winner #3:
I had a little two-level fun with the background flag on this card . . .


 By cutting out the blue field and popping it up with foam dots, the flag has much more dimension.  With a little imagination, it actually appears to be caught in the middle of a gust of wind . . .
