This is my second post today. Please click HERE for my Card Concept Debut post.
The stamp set I used is Year Round Sentiments by Hero Arts. It includes adorable sentiments and plenty of star/stripe/heart motifs. I used a large heart with stars on it in red, then flipped the stamp over and used the solid side to stamp the blue heart.
Ahh, the perfect sentiment for this type of card, right?
Just so happens that The Paper Players is doing a red, white and blue challenge this week, so I'll be linking up there.

Wonderful card. It reminds me of my Mom saying that when she saw my Dad (she didn't know him yet) take his Mom's front stairs two at a time in his uniform, she thought "I want to get to know that handsome guy". You know how it ends :)
Wonderful..I loved your take on colors..n thanks for the tip..I must try using stamp frm both sides :) .!!
love what you've done on this card with the hearts sitting on the burlap
I feel that way with gold and silver together for some reason I have trouble combining the two, you are awesome with the red,white and blue! Beautiful cards!

That patterned paper of Lily Bee design is gorgeous; I love love love the stars. Love that sentiment too.
Maybe this color combo is not your thing but you did a wonderful job with this card. That's your talent; you always create somthing beautiful. Even if the colors or challenge is not your thing; there still is something lovely to look at!
