I have created a couple of items for this challenge. Here is my second creation ... choosing to go Ausmerican with this one.. a mix of Aussie and American :)  For my hubby and I:











I went with the Australian Sporting colors of Yellow and Green and the American Red, White and Blue. I have used Sea Serpent and Mermaid from Keyesays Visual Art. I colored the image with Copic Markers. The card and all the die cuts inside where all cut using the Silhouette Cameo. The card is an Accordian Fold Card. The background behind the image.. the water.. was done using watercolors. I have used chalk on the Sand Dollar, the shell, the seaweed and the bubbles to add a bit of detailing to it. I've also added Diamond Glaze to the bubbles so they really appear to be water drops. I've added some gems around the image on the inside. The papers are from a stack. I love how this turned out. Thanks for looking!

Copic Markers Used:

• Blue: B21, B24, B29
• Red: R22, R24, R46
• Yellow: Y00, Y11, Y15, Y19, YR23

I have created a couple of items for this challenge. Here is my first creation ... choosing to go all out Patriotic with this one:












I created this Cascade Card using Lunastria The Faerie from Keyesays Visual Art. I love this fairy and I went and made her all patriotic :) I have used Copic Markers to color her and I've also used some Opaque White on her. She is layered a little bit as well. All of the cuts for the Cascade Card were cut using the Silhouette Cameo. I've used a lot of cardstock and a bit of scrap pieces of patterned paper. The "july" and "firecracker" are the patterned paper. On both of these words I also covered them with Diamond Glaze to give them a nice puffy shine. I love Diamond Glaze! I've also used glitter on the 4th and on the fireworks at the top.

Copic Markers Used:

• Dress: B21, B24, B29
• Wings and Red on Dress: R22, R24, R46
• Hair: B24, C5, C7, C9
• Eyes: B24, B29
• Leaves: YG05, YG09
