Let's hear it for the red, white and blue!

Hi all! The Impression Obsession gals have a bi-monthly challenge that they like to usher in and this time, it's all about patriotism! It's a color challenge using red,white and blue!

I scoured my IO stamps and came up with some star spangled fun!

The bottom panel was stamped with the Star Spangled Text. The stars are paisley stars in two sizes. THIS is the larger one and THIS is the smaller one. The rest is simply layering some dp. I actually used scraps and accented some of the pieces with a silver leafing pen. I added some silver cording and punched a couple stars out of silver mirror paper to add a little more pizazz. The tag was made using a small oval punch and THIS fun Celebrate! sentiment.
Now...be sure to hop on over to see what the other IO gals cooked up!
Shirley Ross --- she has blog candy too!
Hope you are all having a great week! See you back here tomorrow for another Stamp Simply challenge!
