I'm sooo late for this one but I have been pretty busy, well that's my excuse anyway!!
Susan over at Simplicity challenged us nearly a week ago to make a card with stars and stripes, in honour of American Independance day. I have made a card with somes stripes and a star,
I did a little research online to find out about hearts and wings and found a website, a tattoist actually but it made some sense of the symbolism involved if you're interested HERE
So peace, love and freedom to you all, :0) Gay xxx
I used
Heart and wings stamp from 7 Gypsies
Tim Holtz stripes
copics and distress to colour

Gay - you always manage to "think outside the box", and come up with something spectacular, and you have done it again with this amazing design.
I popped over to the Tattoo site and have learnt something new and fascinating - thanks so much.
Hugs, Sylvia xx
I really like your take on the stars and stripes theme - very funky!
Wonderful card, Gay! Love that the star is itty bitty and the stripes just draw the eye up to that itty bitty star!
Wow Gay! I love your card. I never would have guessed that this was not a single image. I love how you combined the two stamps. Very artsy! Thanks for participating in this weeks OLW Challenge.
fabulous, love the black and white!
Just wonderful! I love the addition of the fade out of blue. Vicky x

What a cool image - it's very majestic!
That is excellent use of the stripes. They give the card amazing perspective and feels 3-dimensional. Fab card.
