Happy Canada Day to us Canucks. Hope you had a wonderful Canada Day yesterday.
And to our neighbours south of the border, Happy Independence Day! Hope you have good weather coming your way for your long weekend.
LOL, I took the red, white and blue theme and made a Christmas-in-July card instead.
I have made this card for the challenge at the Magnolia-licious Birthday Bash blog, celebrating the 2-year birthday of Magnolia-licious Yahoo Group. The theme is Red/White/Blue.
There's also this sketch that I was supposed to use. I didn't have a picture of the sketch in front of me when I was putting the card together--I had the picture in my mind. So when I was finished and compared my card to the sketch...yikes, I had used an extra background paper!!! Maybe this will disqualify me?!?!
Oh well, thems the breaks. I want to share this card with you anyway.
I am also using this card as my entry to Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge 14 - Christmas in July.
I have used this image of Cozy Tilda from Magnolia's So Jolly and Under the Mistletoe Collection 2009. I have again used my Prismacolor pencils to colour her. Lots of glitter that I have added to this card: Tilda's wings, white fur trim on her outfit and on the snowflakes.
Thank for dropping by. I appreciate your visit. Enjoy your weekend! woo hooo.....

Norma, this is gorgeous. The red just pops and adds "zest" to your card. I love how all the swirls, DP and the snowflakes "go together", so perfect. I had to chuckle as I thought of your card as being....cool, brrr...and then I read the sentiment....lol.
