The Crafty Den: Cards for All Seasons IG Hop

Hello friends; I hope you're having a great week so far. I'm back today to share my card for this week's Cards for All Seasons IG hop organised by my lovely friend Kelly. We are now on Week 14 and our theme is 'country colours, flags & fireworks'. Such an easy and open theme this week and is open to lots of interpretation. There are going to be so many awesome ideas along the hop this week and I can't wait to see what sparks your imagination.

I went for the colour part of the theme this week and used red, white and blue (the colours of the UK flag) and made a fun birthday card. I'm really happy with how this card turned out this week and I hope you like it too.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the cute images:

I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping all the images onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured them with Promarkers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also added some white gelly roll pen highlights. I used Master Layouts 14 die set, die cut the postage grid panel and used the coordinating stencil to lightly ink blend some red ink around the boxes. I cut the larger stitched panel from ML 14 out of blue card and used that as my mat layer. I adhered both panels together with double sided tape. I stamped the 2 sentiments in black ink and used the dies to cut them out. I added foam squares behind all the images and both the sentiments and adhered them onto the postage grid panel. I finished with 3 blue pearls. I added some scrap white card behind my panel using double sided tape and then adhered this onto my card base with double sided tape. For the inside I cut the stitched rectangle from ML 14 from white card and the plain mat layer from ML 1 and adhered them together with double sided tape. I stamped the coffee cup in the left lower corner and again coloured it with Promarkers. I stamped the sentiment in black ink in the centre. The panel was adhered to the card base with double sided tape.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
