When I saw the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch, it made me want to go cut strips of paper from my cardstock scraps … so I did, using the color inspiration from the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge.
It was the perfect opportunity to break out my stash of 4th of July papers and have some good old papercrafting fun.
I miss the fireworks from my childhood (Iowa doesn't have the roadside fireworks stands where I used to spend my allowance). I finished with a vintage SRM Sticker Sentiment.



I love 4th of July cards! This one is awesome! Perfect use of the sketch.
Thanks for sharing with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
