This is for today's sketch and this week's ABC20-S is for Statue of Liberty. I've been there several times, never get tired of looking at it. The last time I flew before 9/11 was August of 2001; we flew right past her on our way to Newark.That was the only time I saw the twin towers, a month before they came down. I've flown there twice since then but they don't fly so close anymore.
I used up stash like the smooshed acrylic paint piece at the top and the corrugated white paper, direct to paper with SU night of navy.
Thanks for the challenges!

This is a wonderful patriotic card. I too have not been back to NY since before 9/11. My husband went a few years ago and he and I want to go again. The background is great on your card too.
Wonderful card and location, Jean! We , too, saw the twin towers the Memorial weekend before 9/11. I have a photo of us on the Empire State building with the towers in the background.

Cool card Jean. We were there a year before you and had dinner in the highest restaurant in one of the twin towers. I remember taking a photo of the Statue from the window. The last time we went to NY we took the ferry and glimpsed her from a different angle. Love NY. Love the States. Happy day
