SC235 - Give Me Liberty

Photo Details

Poster: BobbiesGirl

Hi Everyone, this is my card for today's Sketch Challenge. I save postage stamps. No, I'm not a stamp collector. I just save stamps. they are unique and I just can't help myself. People often ask what I am going to do with them. I tell them I don't really know, but maybe someday I will make something pretty. I guess this was the day. LOL I don't know about pretty, but it fits with the July 4th holiday.

The background is a denim print. The brown cardstock around the stamps is Coca from The Paper Cut and the stamps are from my stash. I added the fiber because it just looked too plain. All edges are distressed and inked with Ranger Distressed Vintage Photo. tfl

What a unique idea to use canceled postage stamps for this sketch!! Perfect!! I love the denim background you used, as well as the bit of twine. What a great patriotic card--and a good masculine card, too. I'll have to remember this idea! Into my favorites. Thanks for sharing your delightful card!!
