Hi you all!
Today is the beginning of a new challenge over at Out of a Hat Creations, and I am joining in this month as guest designer. The challenge runs for a week, so you have time to join in with your patriotic creations.
First of all I would like to wish all friends on the other side of the Big Pond a very happy July 4th. The card I made for OOAH is a 3-D pop-up card using images from Gecko Galz, and a stamped and fussy cut Miss Liberty.
I am also linking to Simon Says Stamp and Show - anything goes.
And this is this weeks tag for Tag Tuesday. We have reached the end of the ABC, and my 'Z' tag is for Zons, a little town near here. It is a small, walled town, directly at the Rhine, and dating back to the middle of the 8th century. It is full of narrow lanes, ancient houses and towers, and lots to see. I used a picture of the 'Krötschen' Tower (no. 3 in the plan below), cut it out, and placed it onto a stamped and painted background, and added some bunting just for fun.
I made the collage using photos I took when I visited there with a friend some time back.

Have a great day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
