This is my card for the USE NO WHITE challenge today and the PPA for using stars! I haven't used this stamp set, and thought it would be perfect for a more muted color palate. I stamped the image onto crumb cake in night of navy, layered it on night of navy and cherry cobbler, distressing the edges and sponging them. I added strips of stars in those same colors to both ends of the card, ran then through the big shot with the square lattice EF, then sponged over then lightly with Night of navy...and that is it....I have two sons in the service, one active and one in the reserves....one of them will be getting this card soon....
Thanks for looking, hope you like it!

A very lovely and touching card. Your sons should be really touched by it, especially since the 4th of July is approaching. I bought the set also, and was very touched by the sentiments. I can't wait to design the card.

Such a wonderful patriotic image and I love how you've used it here. The stars on the embossed bg are perfect. I'm sure your son will love this card! Thank your sons for the service they provide for all of us. Hugs!
