Red, White and Blue (and Yellow!)

I think I got a little carried away with all the stars on this! The image is from Dustin Pike and is for the current challenge which is:

Red, White and Blue

I've coloured the image with Promarkers and used a very generous clear out donation from Lynsey for the thin mulberry type red and blue papers. The buttons are from my stash and I've added Divine Twine from the Ribbon Girl to the centres. The larger stars have been cut with a Cuttlebug die and the tiny ones are a punch, again from Lynsey.

I've added a faux running stitch around the edge of the card and the sentiment is computer generated and I've used some Safmat from Letraset which, despite looking daunting to use on the packet was really simple! I've followed the current sketch from Digi Doodles Shop's Best:

And if you've not already popped over to the Fetch A Sketch pre launch party - please do so but be quick as it ends on Sunday 26 June! Some candy on offer to two lucky commenters plus some extra prizes along the way! The Fetch A Sketch challenges launch on Monday 27 June at 9am!
