Template Tuesday - 4th of July Liberty Bell


Sweet freedom. You know how you get to a point where almost all the things you have to do are done and you think you're about finished, but eventually a whole new slew of things gets thrown your way? I feel like I'm almost to that point. It's nice. I'll just trick myself into thinking I'll have a load of free time sometime soon.

It's been a little while since I've done a papercut template and I kept wracking my brain as to what I could do for the 4th of July. I kept thinking of doing fireworks, but that's kind of boring. Then, the other day, I got this awesome mirror at the thrift store with 13 stars and an eagle at the top and my friend Kim suggested I memorize the Declaration of Independence while I go swimming. Voila! I have a little bit of Declaration of Independence, a little bit of the 13 colonies and a little bit of the Liberty Bell. Happy Independence Day, America, enjoy a free scherenschnitte template!

Here's what the template looks like:

That's quite the freedom combo. So does this mean I need to start working on memorizing the Declaration of Independence again?

Great 4th of July cut! personal for me as I am from PA, and I am missing home and some of the familiars. Seems to me that next time we make it back to the States, this should be one of the things on the list to show my kids. hm... thanks for the idea. nice one.

Kim, glad you like it! I think if I ever do fireworks, I'll do something more 3D.
