I started this card by stamping the wreath image, in Baked Brown Sugar ink, on a White, cardstock, card face, which had its left-side corners rounded.
I then trimmed its right edge with a strip of gingham, pattered paper, anchored with silver-threaded, straight, machine stitches.
The wreath itself was then dressed up with stamped in Jet Black ink, die-cut, and watercolored blooms and leaves, some of which were secured with foam tape, as well as a couple of flags. One of the flags was stamped using the mirror technique; and both were die-cut, watercolored, and perched upon die-cut, Chocolate Chip cardstock poles, which I pulled from the Holly Days Sweet Cuts die set. A little Baker's Twine, tied in a bow around one of the poles; stamped, in Jet Black ink, on a vellum, die-cut pennant, "Stars & Stripes" sentiment; and playful scattering of silver, star sequins complete the look.
That gets us started, friends, but I've still got so much more to share. I hope you'll join me again tomorrow, at the same time, to see a little more of what I Love Summer has to offer. Don't forget to check out what the rest of the team has cooked up, too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a blessed work week!

What an awesome card, Jinny! I love how you added the stitched piece of gingham. I need to remember to get my sewing machine out. Great minds think alike, we both used the mirror image stamping technique. We both know it's a great way to get more out of your stamp images.
I like your pretty little wreath and the gingham border Jinny! This is so sweet!
Jinny those flags are the cutest and just in time for your flag day which was today!
