Paper Sweeties July Inspiration Challenge #21-Patriotic Prints!

 
Happy July!
 
How are you?  Another sweet challenge for Paper Sweeties!  Don't you just love the colors of red, white, and blue?  I sure do!  And, I especially love red and aqua together!  Some lovely prints in the inspiration photo, don't you think?  Today is my sister's birthday.  She always takes vacation at this time to her cottage on the lake.  My sisters and I will be at her cottage this evening for her birthday celebration.  I'm looking forward to the birthday fun!
 
And, here is my card...
 
 
 
For my card, I started with a white card base and paired it with some MME and Authentique papers.  I colored Emma with copics and cut her out with coordinating die Sweet Cuts-Emma.  Her dress is from the stamp set Jelly Bean Time.  The sentiments are from the stamp set Happy Everything.  And, the flag with pearl is from Bella Blvd.  You will want to hop along and view more wonderful creations from the team.  Please follow the list below...have fun!
