Another fun card for the new challenge at QKR Stampede where our latest theme is "Patriotic." You may interpret that so that it works for your particular country, obviously, but with our 4th of July holiday right around the corner here in the USA, I thought of fireworks and Red, White, and Blue. :-D This image is from QKR (Digi 12501 "Firecracker".)
This is another single layer card; yes, I'm still practicing my CAS style. I printed it and the sentiment directly onto the white CS which would become the card base, then colored it with my ProMarkers.
I've had several people ask me how I know where to put the image when I'm looking at the "page" on the computer screen. I set my bottom margin at .50, then add the image and shift it down to the bottom. I move it over from the left side margin to where I think it will work, then print onto inexpensive printer paper to make sure it's lined up where I want it. I make any adjustments that might be needed, test print it again and, when all is perfect, I put the card stock into the printer and print for the final time. I trim the page to the width I want for the card by cutting off the right hand side, using my paper trimmer. I score and fold the card into a tent style.
Just in case you want to know what happened when the ant lit the fuse, here's a shot of the inside of the card.
I'm sure you think it's a bit odd for two ants to be running the fireworks show but those two little ants did a pretty good job, didn't they? :-D

Remember, if you use a QKR image to enter, your card will be in a completely separate draw only for those using QKR images and that really increases your chances of winning. Come play and Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
