For the Inspiration Challenge we're headed to a Picture Frame place where I found THIS picture. I loved the eagle & thought it would be a great patriotic card.
For my card, I stamped the screaming eagle. This is a 2 part stamp set & the second part is a watercolor type bg that adds color in places to the eagle. Before I stamped the 2nd part, I used some Copics to color in the eagle then used some yellow, red & blue inks on the watercolor part of the stamp & stamped over it. The eagle was loosely fussy cut then I used a watercolor splatter image to add more of the same colors to a white bg. The eagle was popped up on top of the bg then I added a white deckle frame w/ the USA stamped in red. The stars were all leftovers & I attached them on top of the left side of the frame.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & links: The Write Stuff

Wowza gorgeous eagle image and incredible card with it Julie. I need to get a few eagle cards made as a few of my friends boys earned their eagle scout these last few weeks. Need to get through graduation too.

I love the way you've framed your beautiful eagle, Julie. He looks like he could fly right out of the frame. And I'm impressed by your perfect splattering. I just can't get the hang of that!
