Virtue, Liberty, Independence

This week's challenge #148 over at MFP Speedy Fox & Friends is to make a card that tells you about your state. I live in PA and I've taken the colors and several images from our state flag.

I used a horse image from MFP Southwest Cowboy stamp set, and added some lightning in the background, because he needed a reason to rear up on his hind legs :) I sponged some colors in the background, and if you click the picture to enlarge it, you'll see some wheat stamped on the blue background with Versamark ink - since the flag has several wheat bundles on it.

I haven't figured out what occasion I'll use this card for yet, but I'm thinking if I stick it in my next OWH box, a PA soldier serving far away from home might recognize the PA flag similarities, and choose it to write home to loved ones living in PA.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
