The Pin Up challenge this month is "Raise Yer Flag" as June 14th is Flag Day here in the USA. So for this challenge I decided to use the American Flag colors. Here is what I came up with. I hope you like this little card as much as I do! I used a masking technique with the Cowgirl Pin Ups set paired with a flag digital image from Bombshell . I think this is a cute card to send for the 4th! Thanks for checking in! Cheers,

This fun little window card of Christmas Clara was a trial run for a new idea I have. I like the depth that the shadowing pigment allows for the details in this card. I also like the layered windows. The next time I make this card I believe I will use acetate between the layers and an accordion fold on the sides. This second card was a card I've been working on for about a week.
