So, the new challenge for the next fortnight is 'Independence Day and/or Stars & Stripes' and this is open to interpretation - it doesnt have to be red, white & blue! We are sponsored this time by the generous Crimson Cloud and the brilliant Bugaboo Stamps who were kind enough to give me this wonderful image - Jesse Moon - to play with.
I opted for a shaped easel card and hand-stitched MME & K&Co papers. The dies are a mix of Spellbinder & Memory Box and the punch is MS. I found some old perspex stars in my stash, some were clear and some were gold, so I coloured the gold ones with metallic green PM's and twisted wire on them to make them look like shooting stars. The sentiment is LOTV.
I am entering this card in the below competitions:
Creatalicious Challenge - Anything Goes
Nutcrafters Challenge - Spots &/or Stripes
Thanks for popping by my blog today, and I hope everyone has a smashing day! :)

A very different ake on Stars & Stripes - superbly effective with those perspex stars & I bet this really 'moves' & 'hum's in real life.
I love seeing your soft pastel creations & your combination of patterns intrigues me.
