This card was inspired by LSC174, which was to use brads within the image, and to not use any other embellishments.
I found this image to be perfect for the challenge. It is by Darcie. I stamped the image with Marvy Dye ink onto Sterling Matte Coated paper. I colored the image with Copic Markers.
I kept the layout very simple, just by mounting it onto colored cardstock, as I think the large image does all the work. There is one single brad within the image. Can you find it?
Come to think of it, this card also qualifies for WT172, which was the bird challenge...as the penguin is a bird.

Wow! You do know your way around copics! I bought just 3 to try but I just love coloring with pencils and gamsol and have not had good luck with markers... but I've only had SU! markers... so... I will try to learn these next. I think you hid the brad at the top of the pole... but I am not a betting woman so I'm not putting any money on that! LOL! This is a wonderful image and wonderful patriotic card!!!

I agree with Rox, the brad is at the top of the flagpole. An adorable card!
