I have not done a 4th of July card yet this year so when Kelley showed us the new sets for this month, I was tickled that there was a patriotic verse to use. I’m using the new set called Our Daily Bread. I actually cheated a little bit and dug back into my older sets and picked up the eagles head to also go my card it’s from the In God We Trust set. For this one I simply added a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Borderabilities Petite in red on the first layer of the card. On the next layer I added a panel punched using my right angle punching technique and a Martha Stewart Punch Corner Punch – this particular one makes a border that looks like stars inside circles so it fit my theme just right.
| Card Recipe: Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Our Daily Bread, In God We Trust Paper: Bazzill, Kaisercraft, The Paper Company Ink: Walnut Stain Distress Ink, Versafine Onyx Black Accessories: Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Borderabilites Petite, Martha Stewart Corner Punch – Corner Quilted, clear embossing powder, buttons, ribbon |

If i win, the stuff i win will go so much farther than me alone, it will touch so many lives– as i don’t make anything to keep for myself, if i did this i know the lord would take my ministry away from me, as i was called by him to minister to others and not myself !! crazy hugh ! but blessed and surviving cancer free today. thanks girl !! please remember me, i can always use prayer, i am disabled and alone most of the time, which to me is a blessing ’cause i can take that time and do alot of ministering ! thanks, GOD BLESS , love you and your work, i bet we would do some serious damage in my card room if we got together ! oh well, i live in louisianna in the hurricane rita affected area and no one wants to stay here long so , LOL , we will just have to visit on your blogs !
