SOS551: Red, White and Blue

As you may already have guessed from the title, the new challenge at Shopping Our Stash is to make a card which predominantly features red, white, blue, or some combination thereof. Which means you could make an awesomely patriotic card... or... NOT!

I made a fun stamped-collage background using some ancient and sadly neglected 7 Gypsies stamps, with a few other text and patterns thrown in, all stamped in Cobalt Archival Ink from Ranger. Then I added red, white and blue seashore ephemera from 49 and Market's Vintage Artistry Sunburst collection, distressed the edges, messily machine stitched around the whole thing, et voila!

SOS551: Red, White and Blue runs until the evening of Bastille Day (aka Monday, July 14th); link your cards at Shopping Our Stash!
