This card is for the Fan Club challenge for June - Text Me -- for both the Central Theme and Sketch challenges. I printed off a copy of the Declaration of Independence -- probably the most recognized text of any American citizen. In making my card using the sketch provided, I did move the sentiment down a little bit.
All images are from Mark's Finest Papers patriotic set called American Made. The little flags were colored with markers and then stamped.

Fabulous patriotic beauty and clever idea to print off the Declaration for the text panel! You really rocked the sketch and the text theme!

LOVE how you made the text bg so meaningful, Lois - you couldn't get a more perfect bg for this than the Declaration of Independence! I love your use of the sketch - beautifully done!!
