Channeling my inner hippie for this July 4th color challenge- who can stop with just red, white and blue? I wanted to suggest the flag at sunset, so I punched some stars on post-it note paper before adding a brayered layer of Crisp Canteloupe and sponged accents of Wild Honey. I added Soft Sky and Salty Ocean to a piece of acetate, spritzed with water and then dipped the cardstock in the blue inks. I used Real Read and Crisp Cateloupe to stamp the scroll and stripes. I found the sentiment online, printed it with blue ink on vellum, trimmed it and glued to the card front.

I love the rectangle shape for your fabulous 4th of July collage. The gradient tie dye inspired background is perfect with your images. Thanks for sharing your talent and being a part of the Hand Stamped Sentiments Design Team.
