Stars & Stripes for SSSC 161

It's a Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Sunday. Yea! Karen's sketches are always so fun to do and this week's is no exception. I pulled out some brand new Taylored Expressions goodies to play with for today's card. I love all of the 4th of July themed stamps and accessories that Taylor released this month.

For my card, I started with this year's 4th of July Project Pantry kit. I stamped Moka Betsy on X-Press It Blending CS and colored her with Copics then fussy cut her out. (lots of small details to color on this stamp. Very fun!) She is popped up on the TE Frame It up -1 die that I stamped, then embossed, with the fireworks stamp from the Celebrate Freedom TE set. 

The Stars & Stripes stamp is stamped with SU Night of Navy ink and punched out with SU round punches. The stars & stripes heart is also part of the Moka Betsy set, stamped with Night of Navy ink and cut out. For the flags, I used the TE die Blimps & Banners.

It's all stitched up with navy blue thread and finished off with some silver SU star eyelets.

Here's a look at the inside:

Two more TE dies are used here along with two more stamps from the Moka Betsy set.
