I have been working on the Fourth of July cards for my shut-ins and this is one of them I did. All I made are very CAS but I still like them. The stripe stamp is from a Gina K. Designs set called Tiny Textures and the bell and sentiments are from A Jillian Vance Design set called Cross Stitch Freedom.
I finished the card design by adding some negative swirly stars I had saved from another die cut design. I thought they worked perfectly with the theme.
I am entering this in the Double D Challenge-Signs of Summer. I chose to use the patriotic colors shown on the inspiration photo.

Love this, Verna! Your shut-ins will love it, as well. Thanks for letting me know that the Follow it is working!
A delightful card Verna - love that it is so "different" to a lot of the Independence Day cards that I have seen. The cross stitched bell is a great focal point
Stay safe

I love this patriotic card. Thanks for thinking about the shut ins. Also, the negative stars go perfectly with your card. [Bunny]
Clever design and sentiment, Verna. The shut-ins will love this.
What a kind idea to make these for the shut-ins that you know. This is a wonderful card and we should not forget about that summer holiday. I get your blog on Follow it, and in the usual way. I guess until Feedburner goes away. Thanks for joining us at Double D Challenges too
I love the look of this. It's simply fabulous, sometimes clean and simple is best. I have never seen a cross stitch stamp like that before, it's really cool.
This is a beautiful design, Verna. I love how you combined the two stamps to make this delightful card to celebrate the 4th.
Love those red swipes!
Very unique patriotic card. Love the CAS look to it.
