Show Your Independence

Wow! Can you believe how fast time has flown by?! June is almost over, and soon we'll be celebrating Independence Day! So, since Independence Day, July 4, is so close, let's show our love for the Stars and Stripes, the Red, White and Blue!

This is our new challenge for you at Daisy's Doodles! Show us Stars and Stripes to celebrate Independence Day! Come over and play along for your chance to win at Daisy's Doodles! We can't wait to see all of your fabulous creations!

I am having a blast as June guest designer at Daisy's Doodles! Jules has so many fabulous images to choose from! If you haven't checked out the Daisy Doodles store, you really should! You'll love the huge selection of images! Jules has something for everyone! Hurry over and check it out! You'll be glad you did.

My card today uses papers that are all scraps from my stash. I used the eagle image, from the Celebrate America set. I've colored the eagle with Promarkers and matted him in blue. I used two star shaped buttons to the upper left of the image. Below the image, I used a strand of red and white baker's twine and a strand of blue and white baker's twine, then tied them in knots in different increments, to make loops. I've used star shaped metal brads, through each knot, to make a decorative border with the baker's twine. To the right of the image, I've punched a circle and pop dotted a punched star in the center, then added strands of baker's twine hanging from the circle. (Sort of reminds me of a metal of honor!)
