Happy 4th of July :)

Today's card was made for a friend to give away.  She had asked me for a thank you card and this is what I came up with.  I started with the patterned paper, and pulled the colours from there, using Stampin' Up inks.  The sentiment is also from Stampin' Up from the Life Defined set and the little flowers are from a set from Verve.  The ribbon loops are from a Martha Stewart border punch, that I love so much :)  I was actually shopping with a friend who is into card making as well, and she picked up this border set and I picked up a bubble type one, thinking I would just borrow hers when I needed it.  Well, I saw it on sale one day and decided I would love to have my own so I could use it whenever I wanted.  So glad I did, as it seems to be my 'go-to' border punch these days.  Hope you all had a wonderful Canada Day Weekend.
