American Flag Card

I'm groaning very loudly while I write this post!  I just got home from working a seven day (in a row) stretch at work.  Some of the days were 12 hours long, on my feet!  I'm exhausted.  I, at least, have tomorrow off, but...I have a dentist appointment!  What a way to spend my day off, yuck! 

I finished this card yesterday, but didn't have time to post it before I left for work.  It's a combination Labor Day Card and a 9/11 Commemorative Card. I cased it from this card I found blog surfing one night. 

Instead of using an edge puncher, I used my Die-Namics Scallop Ribbon Border and cut one of the scallop edges off.  Machine stitching was added on to the border strips before they were adhered  to the card base.  After I adhered the strips on, I machine stitched all around the the card base. 

I cut a square of blue cardstock and machine stitched around the edges.  Paper punched stars were added with matching ivory buttons glued to the centers.

I puffed up the scallop border a little, just to give it a little extra dimension.

Supplies:

Paper:  October Afternoon, Bazzill, Recollections

Ink:  Tim Holtz Antique Linen

Misc:  Star paper punch, sewing machine, Die-Namics Scallop Ribbon, pop up dots
