I made a very simple, very quick card. I don't generally give or mail these types of cards, do you?
I also do not have many "patriotic" sets in my stash so I had to improvise!
I used one of the zebras from the Zippy Zebras set from MFT. I actually drew the flag myself, fussy cut it out and attached it to the zebra.
I foam mounted the zebra and added a bit of "grass" using one of the Grassy Hillside Borders Dies from Lawn Fawn. I added a couple of clouds from another set in my stash. Any cloud stamps would work here.
For a bit of interest and to break up some of the white space, I added some doodled borders in opposite sides of the card.
The sentiment comes from an older set from PhotoPlay called O Canada. This is an adorable set and worth checking out!
I love the simplicity of this card and it was so quick and easy to make.
