I decided to make a card celebrating July 4th's Independence Day using Sparkler Ellie. She is absolutely adorable.....

          The image was printed on Make it Crafty blending card. Sparkler Ellie was inked up using Copic markers, my all time favorite medium. Her skin was coloured with E000, E00, E11 and R20. I inked her hair with E50, E51 and E53. I could not resist the good ol' red, white and blue, so I inked her dress, hair accessories and shoes using B18, B24, B28, R37, R39 and R89. Grass, flowers and sparklers were done with G24, FYG1, Y68 and YR04. I also used some Diamond Stickles to add some bling to the sparklers and parts of the dress.

          

          Here is the finished card...... I used Gina K Kraft card stock and made a 5.5X5.5' square card. I used Bo Bunny's Anthem patterned paper. I heavily distressed the edges of all the layers of this card using Tim Holtz Distressing Ink in Walnut Stain. I used Label 1 to cut out the inked image and framed it with royal blue card stock which was cut out with Label 16 from Spellbinders. {They work perfect together!} I also used Diamond Stickles on every single star as well as outlined the card to help bring out the "sparkle" in the card. I tied it all together with a deep red ribbon and some rhinestones in blue and red.
