Chris, you have made this paper look like a treasured family flag, I can just see "Gramps" hanging this on the 4th! The tag is wonderful. Your distressing and stitching are jaw droppers my friend! Gorgeous, every inch! LYMI

WOW, this is awesome! Your distressing is fab and I think this should be matted, framed and hung on a wall! It looks like some fantastic piece of family history. TFS

GORGEOUS!! However you did your distressing of the flag makes it look like fabric. Amazing work. I'm not much into distressing (on my cards), but I think I could handle it if I'd get this fab look! Fav'd.
