It also covers this week's Double Dare Challenge I do with a few SCS friends. Joanne was the host this week and her instructions were to make a Patriotic card using stars and stripes.
My card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 square. The DP is Half Way Cafe by Cosmo Cricket. I just love this Statue of Liberty Stamp by Paper Inspirations - I cut around her arm so keep the sketch square in the center.
My DH said the card looked too dark so I added yellow stickles to the stars, Liberty's flame and head gear.
Check out my blog to see what I put on the inside of this card! (give me a minute to get it loaded up!)

Julia!! I love the distressed look to this, its reminisant of a relic flag that you see in museums. What a great design, love the paper, and that stamp...oh my, yes, it is glorious!! How wonderfully patriotic, I love it!!
