Hello! This Fourth of July card was created more as a small scene piece than a traditional greeting card. I built it around the large Spellbinders bicycle die set (the Big Bicycle from Bibi’s Cats and Pugs Collection), combining it with balloon dies and additional elements from other Spellbinders sets.
I used patterned paper from Echo Park for the background and a coordinating Echo Park sentiment. The overall design was inspired by an image I saw in a shop window of a garden flag. To accommodate the scene and keep the proportions balanced, I worked in an 8” x 8” format, which allowed the elements to breathe and interact visually rather than being constrained by a standard card size.
The result is less about practicality and more about storytelling in paper form.
