Independence Day

Today's card is for an American friend - I make him one every year to celebrate the 4th of July. This year's is a graphic interpretation of the Star Spangled Banner...


 I die-cut 3 circles then cut the red and the blue ones to make the stripes and blue quarter. The stars are also die cut and I couldn't resist some bling in the form of the red gems.

 I've entered this card into the challenges at:

 Less Is More - red, white and blue
Brown Sugar - red, white and blue
Crafty Creations - red, white and blue
Dies R Us - stars and stripes
Addicted To CAS - patriotic

 Thanks for looking and enjoy your 4th July celebrations

    Love the fact that you went away from a rectangle and the little stars are fabulous. I bet your friend really appreciates that you do this every year. Great take on the sketch. So glad you joined us at Addicted to CAS this week
