Happy 4th of July

With this card  want to wish all my American friends:

This card is also for the 65th card sketch

in the Michael Strong Yahoogroup.

For the background of this card I used

the Michael Strong honeycomb template

with red and blue distress ink. I only slightly

used the color to have a soft touch.

For the focalimage i used the large cloisonné star

that you can find here. I stamped in black and embossed it black

on watercolor paper.I used the same red and blue distress inks for coloring. 

You press the inkpad to your craftsheet and spritz some water on it.

Now you have ink for coloring.

Some extra touches of glitterglue gold to make it more festive.

The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
