America the Beautiful

Happy 6th of July! (I was sick on the 4th, so sue me!)  I've been on a tag-adorned-card kick lately, so here's what I made for the holiday.

I used a ton of different techniques in this card (including my first failed attempt at making my own embossing paste) and I'm crazy about it!

Don't you just LOVE this digi from Sassy Studio Designs?
