There's a trend in card-making that's becoming popular, and that's called "Slim line" cards. These cards are tall and skinny and fit in a business-sized (#10) envelope. I seem to struggle to fill the card, so I opted for my ol' stand-by, the CAS, or Clean And Simple, card.
I started by cutting my card blank 7" by the width of paper, or 8 1/2", out of a navy blue cardstock and folded it in half lengthwise. Then, I cut a panel out of brown-speckled tan cardstock at 8" by 3".
I first stamped the bird (maker unknown) in Coffee Bean and covered it with a mask. Then, I stamped the flowers in Green before stamping the sentiment (Insightful Meadows by Unity) in Ultramarine. I used Vivid ink pads.

My celebration of our Independence Day (USA) continues with another one-layer card. For the other one that was for my cousin's Fourth-of-July birthday, see here.
This card was made using Hero Arts Quatros (Stars & Stripes) and Stampin' Up! (Send a Celebration) rubber stamps. I used Colorbox Chalk Warm Red and Vivid Bermuda Blue ink pads. I guess that I can also add that the A2-sized card is also CAS (Clean And Simple).
