The Pledge by Pickled Potpourri

 Happy 4th of July, our Independence Day!  Today my card features The Pledge by Pickled Potpourri.  This digital collage stamp makes a quick card.  I simply touched up the image with a few Copic markers, cut it with Spellbinders Lacey Squares, and then placed it on a red circle and blue background.  The sentiment is from Contemporary Greetings by Red Rubber Designs.
