This is my sample for the Color Challenge hosted Mary. Her terrific colors are: Real Red, Blueberry Bushel and White. The dessert option is patriotic.
Recently I bought a box of used rubber stamps to help support a local charity. The rocket mouse was one of the stamps. I already had the sentiment. Both of these stamps happened to be from Great Impressions.
Last week, I made several Starburst Background cards for the TLC Challenge hosted by Lyn. It's a good way to use up scraps. The technique was still on my brain, so I thought a partial starburst coming from the rocket might be cute. Linking up for Bev's TLC Challenge back in April to do a Modified Starburst.
Thanks to the Hostesses for the challenges and the inspiration. Thank you for taking a peek.
We hope you will join us for some red, white & blue creativity, with or without dessert. Have fun!

What a great design! I love the little mouse taking off on that patriotic rocket and the way you've paper-pieced the flames is truly inspired! I love the festive look of the greeting, too!

This is a great patriotic card Diane. I love the cute little rocker flying mouse. Great Impressions had many cute mouse stamps. I own a couple. And your partial starburst is a perfect touch for the rocket.

Diane, you knocked it out of the park with this rocket and the starburst "exhaust"! This card evokes such joy for the day! I love the little mouse with his flag!
