Whats Red, White and Blue all Over? PP199

Good morning! Its Friday, Friday, Friday!  Now that's just one word I never get tired of hearing!!  I have a pretty laid back weekend ahead, thank goodness.  My normal run early, get groceries, do little cleaning and play, play, play!!  Sunday is Father's Day, we I'll take a long run early, then get ready to take my husband out for breakfast (his choice), then we have to take my son over to Luray for the week.  He is staying with my parents to help take care of my sisters dogs while she is on vacation!

Todays card is for the color challenge over at The Paper Players.  I almost forgot that I wanted to play along, thank goodness they send out a reminder to play along.  So I finally got my hands on the Work of Art stamp set (it had been on back order for a short while), but not worries, I had plenty of other new toys to keep me busy with, like the new stars framelit set.  Which is what I used to create these awesome layered stars on my card.

 
I started out with a crumb cake card base and stamped it with the zig zag stamp from the Work of Art set in night of navy.  I then cut and layered with whisper white and real red.  I used the three smallest sizes of stars to cut out in all three colors.  I even sponged around each to help them pop.  The finishing touch is the celebrate on the white banner and the piece of silver bakers twine.  I added a basic rhinestone to the white and red star for some added bling!

 
On the inside, I cut out three stars and placed them in the corner, leaving plenty of room for that special hand written message.
