Patriotic Card Happy 4th of July

There are a few patriotic challenges out there this weekend so I tried to come up with an idea without buying any new stamps or decorative paper.  I did buy the ribbon today at Michaels.  I went armed with a 40% coupon and found nothing but stuff off the $1 area.  Anyway I like the way the card turned out.  The image is a digi by The Greeting farm.  Have a great week everyone.

Summertime froggie

Here in Oklahoma I think summer has came early.  Nearly 100 today.  I wish for the rain again.  Just about 7 weeks and we will head to Colorado on vacation.  I am so excited.  I'm sure by then we will be ready for the cooler weather that the top of Pike's Peak will provide.  Well now on to this card.  The image was a freebie from the Whimsy stamps made as a RAK stamp for a lady named Jayme who has lung cancer.  Colored with copics and I have seen some shade around an image so I tried I'm not sure I succeeded.
