This is Tickle a Teapotter week and we are going back to school to practice counting. We are to bring numbers on our cards and things to count. So I brought the number 4 for Independence Day on July 4 and at least 42,000 stars to count.
This is also my Happi Sister's Design Team card for this week's challenge over at Happileigh Scrappin' . This week was my turn to choose the challenge theme. I decided to go with Stars and Stripes because of Independence Day coming up in a few days. You must have stars and stripes on your card, although it doesn't have to be patriotic. We would love to have you join us for this week's challenge.
I combined several of Leigh Grady's Happileigh Scrappin' wonderful digis to make this collage, then printed it out on Copic X-Press It white cardstock. Colored it using Copic Markers - staying with only shades of red and blue, and grays to shade some of the white. Cut out the edges and matted on navy blue, SU Real Red and GP 110 white cardstock. Added the SU and dollar bin silver star brads on the side for a final touch.

WOW Sue... this is a real Yankee Doodle Dandy of a patriotic card! Your coloring is fabulous... the red balloon and letter U are shaded perfectly and have incredible dimension. Love the stars and stripes behind your scene too!
