I discovered this new line called Just Chillin by Making Memories of paper, stickers, ribbon etc at my local scrapbooking store. I knew instantly I wanted to use it with this stamp set. I stamped the stars and heat embossing them then hand stitched around them. I just love this masculine look. TFL

Very cool effect, stitching around the stars like that! Hey, did you notice this card is the sketch challenge for today?? So I was looking close, trying to figure out if you stitched around all those little squares... can't tell if you did, or if that is part of the paper design. I LOVE that paper, and how different this card is from the usual color combo for patriotic cards. Great job, Lisa!
