Fab Friday 45

Hi stampers!  First of all Happy Independence Day!  I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful 4th of July and a big thanks to all our troops and their families past and present who keep us free!  Another big shout out to my Uncle Harold Bergbower who was a POW in the Pacific (I think I've mentioned him before).  Google his name for some seriously interesting reading!

And happy Friday!  It happens to be time for nice little sketch over at Fab Friday!

Now, I should have a patriotic card to share but I don't.  I made this one first as I wasn't feeling super inspired and then I tried to make an inventive 4th of July card and it just didn't work out.  I still don't love this one but it was better than the second, ha!  So here it is.

I used the blendabilities to color.  I'm not great at it but not bad either.  They are pretty easy to use!  I'm trying to decide if I need ALL the colors....sigh :-)  And by practicing and watching videos I'm picking up little hints and tricks and getting better.  I'll share some of those soon!

Now head on over and see what the rest of the team came up with and play along!

Happy stamping!
