It's time for another challenge at Pals Paper Arts and this week, we're hosting a Fourth of July Inspiration Challenge (PPA49)! What comes to mind when you think about the Fourth of July? Patriotic parades, fireworks, picnics, our nation's birthday, freedom, a barbecue with family and friends? I was inspired to create a party invitation in honor of the 4th using traditional patriotic colors of red, white, and blue, and some of my favorite stamp sets, punches, and other fun details (a little bling and paper piercing)! For a closer look at my "Stars and Stripes", click directly on the photo! My invitation also happens to work for this week's Curtain Call Color Challenge {Act 36} hosted by Stacey Schafer at Stacey's Stamping Stage. I love visiting Stacey's blog for fun color combo ideas! Be sure to take a peek!
Need a little inspiration? Check out this week's submissions by the PPA Design Team and this week's Featured Artist, Joanna Munster. Come "play at along at PPA"! I can't wait to see what you make!
