Hi everyone,
Before I begin, I would just like to say Happy 4th of July to all who are celebrating today, and my belated Happy Birthday wishes to Canada!!!
It's time for another challenge at Addicted to CAS! Our Hostess is Jaydee and our sponsor is Create a Smile, who are offering the winner a GC for 12.50 euro (1 stamp set). We have a new Guest Designer for July...Kathy K. from the Purple Princess Diaries Blog! Also, we have our new Designers joining us for the first time, so today is a very exciting day for all of us as we welcome them!
On to our challenge ~ The theme for this challenge is 'Patriotic' and I have created two cards:
We've had overcast skies for a few days, so I apologize for the poor quality on this photo. I cut the PTI dies with glitter paper, framed the white panel with red and blue cardstock, added the stamped sentiment and stars, and that was it...easy peasy!

It's fun to sometimes use non-holiday images for holiday cards...Hence the motorcycle on my next card (Patriotic/4th of July):
I couldn't wait to play with this new (to me) PTI die to created the road under the motor cycle and used red, white and blue again with a small pop of yellow for the lights. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn, and the stars from SSS. A touch of Wink of Stella for a little sparkle, and that was it!
Thanks so much for stopping by ~ Have a great weekend,

Barb this is 2 very inspiring creations! So beautiful! I love the sparkle in the first... and oh wow, the impact of those curved lines are just awesome!

Fab cards, Barb! Love the gorgeous glittery sentiment on the first and, like Hannelie, I am blown away by the effect that those curved lines create on the second! Great to be joining you on the ATCAS team :)

Both cards are stunning Barb! You always make such beautiful creations!

Love both cards, Barb! Beautiful shimmer on your first one and your second card is so fun! Happy 4th to you!!! ♥
Two awesome cards Barb. Love the sparkle of your first card with the glitter paper and sequins, and love the second card with the fun design ... so creative! xx
Two terrific cards Barb, love the red white and blue.
Genius Barb! LOVE your patriotic road!
Barb, both cards are great! This is a cool idea to use non traditional images for celebrations, but keep the colour scheme! Happy 4th of July! Glad to be on one team with you!
Love the bold sentiment and glitter on your first card Barb and the road you created on your second card. Awesome! Happy 4th!!!!
Fabulous cards Barb! I am excited to be on a DT with you :)
Marvelous cards Barb, love how you used the PTI die for a road - clever!!
Barb I love both cards but particularly the onw with the moped and the new PTI die. I have this die and am a bit stumped what to do with it. Look forward to seeing what you do next
I loved your both cards... Loved the bold and shining sentiment on white background. Your second card is so fun and interesting. The background is perfect :) SO happy to work with you at ATCAS.
Great cards... I love both of them! Glad to be on the DT with you!
fun set of cards, barb!!
Brilliant, Barb ... love that shimmery bold sentiment ... and what a brilliant road for that fun little scooter to run along! Anita :)
Fantastic cards Barb and I'm thrilled to be on the ATCAS team with you.
Your first one is simply brilliant and certainly sparkles and shines - you might like to link up at Less is More as we are also down the red, white and blue route this week. Love the cute image on the second one too and so perfectly coloured. Sarah x
These are both fantastic. I really like the way you used those die cuts as a road for your motorcycle. Great idea to put it at an angle--I want to try that next time.
Now this is the way to sparkle and shine, Barb! Fantastic! And I love the bright red, white and blue card! Fun!
They are gorgeous, Barb, love the second one, the curved lines are amazing.
Have wonderful week, sweetie!
Love and hugs
Maarit
