Happy Fourth of July! I do not have a patriotic card today--but I do have a swap card to show you. This is my card for our every other month swap for an awesome group of ladies on SCS--the SOTC--Sisters of the Traveling Cards! Maryann is our hostess for May/June--she posted the following for us to follow in April:
Snow is still everywhere! It just keeps coming and it won't go away. In hopes of some spring/warm weather, I would like us to make some uplifting, sun-shining cards.
A card with FLOWERS to bring out the sunshine and wash away this cold/snowy weather. Birthday, thinking of you or any theme; it's up to you!
Since I knew that Maryann got lots and lots of snow this winter and it did not all go away until almost May, I am sure she really is ready for flowers! I inked up a new stamp that I got this spring at a stamp show in Milwaukee and wanted to highlight the oval shape of the image. I tried various dies, but none of the ovals matched the shape. This one worked, however it is a bit large for the card front!
I hope Maryann and the other SOTC gals like my card!

Stunning, simply stunning! I really like the die cut for the image, even if large. The extra white space gives emphasis to the image and your gorgeous coloring!
