************************************************
My Double Z-Fold card was created with the new

I stamped 3 of the cute animal stamps, colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.
The fireworks stamp was stamped multiple times on white card stock with
Versamark Ink and heat embossed with red & blue glitter embossing powders.
I stamped the star stamp from the set several times on a white panel.
I colored the stars with glitter gel pens.
The "Let Freedom Ring" sentiment was stamped and heat embossed.
I fussy cut around it, then adhered to star die cuts.
The music note stamp was stamped along the border z-fold piece.
2 of the animal musicians were popped up with acetate.
The third was popped onto the card with foam tape.
I stamps the music notes 3 more times and fussy cut before
adding them above the animals.
