Wonderful challenge (to use twine)! I know I have some, but where I put it only the shadow knows. So I hope the challenge police will let me slide since I used some heavy quiliting thread (almost as heavy as a lightweight twine). How timely! I'm also adding it to the new Fan Club Gallery - Star Spangled!
For my card, I stamped the soldier once in the blues and once in red then die cut a star shape out of the blue and attached it over the red one.
On the red bg, I stamped the Old Flag in red but it wasn't dark enough so it kind of disappeared. It only looks like a little texture now. Oh well. The sentiment was die cut w/ a portion of the tag die and I highlighted it w/ a white gel pen. I took a double strand of the quilt thread and did a little crochet chain thru the hole.
After distressing the edge of the red, I used the stitch piercer tool and whip stitched the edge. A couple of the star pieces were added behind the tag. The finished card measures 5.5 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
