Red White & Blue Girl card (Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy 4th of July to my American friends, I hope you've had a fabulous day!

I thought I'd create a red, white and blue card with stars in respect of the USA holiday. I sliced up 3 papers into strips and adhered them onto scrap paper. I then used red, white and blue gel pens to make some faux stitching.

The beautiful image was created by Hannah Lynn and I'm not sure if you can buy them anymore sadly. I have many of her images and I thought about you Bunny when I printed this up to colour, as I know you love seeing the Hannah Lynn images coloured up on my cards :)

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz - anything goes with option of pretty

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes with patterned paper

Creative Inspirations - anything goes
