Celebrate a special day with me

Happy Canada Day to my friends and family in the great white north! This is a special day for Canada and so to honor this celebration I made this fun card to mirror the Canadian flag. 

Instead of making my Real Red layers plain I decided to use the Woodland embossing folder to represent all the amazing trees that blanket the country. 

Woodland Embossing Folder
$8.50

I embossed an entire card front layer then trimmed it to just under 2" for each strip so that I could leave room for the maple leaf in the middle. And I created the solid Real Red maple leaf using the Seasonal Layers dies:

Seasonal Layers Dies
$33.00

Then all I had to do was assemble and my card is done! 

Here's a view from the side; I adjusted the lighting a bit when editing so that you can better see the embossed layers. 

 

I have decided to make all of you honorary Canadians for the day so that you can celebrate with me! Who's up for a fun celebration? I sure am!
