I made this card for 2 challenges. The WT324 challenge to use Stars and the StampinB's challenge to make a collage. The bald eagle, USA and IN GOD WE TRUST images were from the Mark's Finest Papers set called American Made. I went to wikipedia and printed a copy of the Declaration of Independence onto tan cardstock. I stamped the IN GOD WE TRUST sentiment on a piece of dp that looked like marble. (It made me think of marble monuments0 I took a scrap of brown corderoy and fringed the edges. I added lace, raffia, twine and the little gold star charm. I zig-zag stitched the pieces together. This card will work as a wonderful thank you card for my fellow boy scout leader who volunteers so much time helping the boys. Today we are taking a large group of cub scouts and boy scouts to the National Cemetary. The boys will place American flags on all of the graves. This will be the 6th consecutive year that my boys and I have joined in this effort.

Great card -- your coloring of the eagle is wonderful! I've printed out the Declaration of Independence several times myself. It makes a great background for a patriotic card.

Wonderful details and an awesome collage. What a great trip for the scouts. I remember those days. My son made Eagle Scout and it is such a terrific experience for boys. Glad you joined the Stampin' B's this week.
