I stamped the builders design on the card and did it with a red followed by a blue line. I followed this pattern until about a third of the way up the white base card. As I built it up it created a gorgeous design pattern. I also added a strip of denim blue card stock and over that I added a red and white ribbon using the Cheery Lynn Designs Allison's Ribbon die. The sentiment was stamped first in the denim blue and then I over stamped it again with cheery red ink which are both from the Gina K. Designs line.
The finishing touch was to add three blue star rhinestones around the sentiment and also some red rhinestones at the top of the builders block design.
I can see a lot of different options for a quick and easy note card with the builders set. And, one can vary the colors for a unique look each time.
Well, between a lot of phone calls today I managed to get one card done at least. I hope your day is turning out to be a fantastic one too!
Take care and God bless,
Verna

What a great take on this challenge. PERFECTION, my dear. LOVE the pattern on the bottom, and the double stamping on the greeting. And then the stars are the perfect final touch. Well done!

P.S. Did you know the current Cheery Lynn Designs challenge is Red, White & Blue ... you should share this beauty with them too.
Love how you built your pattern, Verna. It came out beautifully in the red, white and blue.
Really like this one Verna, and the Thank You just finishes it with it's simplicity of a real sentiment.
How clever! I love the way you stamped your sentiment!!
Awesome stamping!

A perfectly created pattern with the builder's design! Love the shadow stamping, too. I never remember to do that, but it looks great on your card. That ribbon die is an absolute must have. Always the right color ribbon anytime! Cute little glittery star rhinestones. This is just ideal for our Patriotic challenge at Double D and I'm so glad you played along!
Fun patriotic card - great bottom border
