Today's Motivation Monday was designed to have you thinking outside of the box when using our Designer Series Papers (DSP). When I was designing this project I realized that I didn't have any current DSP that would be typical patterns for a patriotic card. I was looking for red & white stripes, blue with white stars, etc. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to create a card that would give the "feel" of what I had in mind, but using patterns totally out of the norm. I think this card turned out even better than I planned. I hope you like it as well. To see how this card is put together click here. Don't forget to scroll down for additional design ideas. Enjoy!
