This card meets the Shopping our Stash challenge #57 to use red, white, & blue, or stars & Stripes. I had to dig into my BoBunny dsp Liberty pad, because I just won a new one:) I haven't used the Sizzix star die in ages, and those star brads must have been sitting around for several years, so I definitely shopped my stash for this challenge!
This card also fits the Simon Says Stamp challenge to make something "sporty and/or patriotic." I think all the red, white & blue along with the stars adds just a touch of patriotic charm, wouldn't you say?! :)
Thanks much for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful week ahead!

Glad to hear you got that box filled. This is so awesome. Yep, the chevron pattern is addicting, and next comes hexagons. As for the embossing folders, please enjoy. As you said, it is such fun to play with each others toys!
Love, love, love your background, Carol, and all those stars! We're so glad you shared this with us at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge!
This is just fabulous, Carol. I really have to try that herringbone technique soon. Those papers are lovely and I love the way you layered your stars. Those brads were definitely worth finding in your stash. Enjoy your day today.
Such a great card you did a nice job!!!
Patriotic, for sure. I love those large star. I tried to make a card with the herringbone pattern but I didn't like the paper I used so it was a dud and didn't finish it. Yours is super!
The next five days here are going to be in the low 100's. Saturday will be the hottest with 104 degrees. Not good for those Freedom Day celebrations.
What a beautiful herringbone creation! Love the way you did the stars, too. A perfect card for OWH.
So much color and texture...LOVE this!
I'm really impressed by that herringbone. I'll bet that took awhile!
Very nicely done!
Wow, I love this card Carol! Your cards are always a treat to stop by and see :)
I wanted to say THANK YOU for the beautiful birthday card you sent me too, wow it's gorgeous! It will be on my blog for my birthday :)
Thanks for the good wishes friend!
Hugs, Jan
oh you have so much patience girl! Great card! Hey, did you see Rob Thomas is going to host LIVE with Kelly Ripa on July 2oth? He posted on facebook. What show is that?
Loving the layered stars and that herringbone pattern looks like a quilt I have (only mine are different colors). This is a super wonderful card. Thanks for sharing!
