Hello! Happy 4th of July to you!!! Are you camping for the 4th? Well, my sweet Peachy raccoon is having a grand ole time camping and making smores for the 4th. :) I used the fabulous May 2014 set by PeachyKeenStamps for my card today. I stamped the fire and raccoon from the May 2014 set and used my Prismacolor colored pencils to color them. Then I fussy cut them out. Here's a TIP...I added glossy accents to the branch the raccoon is holding after I cut it out. Glossy accents gives it some strength so it won't rip or break. :)
I used the Stitched Grass Die from MyCreativeTime for my grass. I colored it with Shabby Shutters and Crushed Olive distress inks. For my sky I used Broken China, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, and Dusty Concord distress inks. I love how the night sky turned out. :) The greeting is also from the May 2014 set from PeachyKeenStamps.
Have a safe and happy 4th!
