I couldn't help but feel a swell of patriotism as the election results came in tonight. There was no choice but to make a simple statement with this patriotic card that reflects the optimism that comes with the election of a new leader for this great country we call home. I used DP and a background stamp to create my sketch challenge card. I stamped Tres Chic in Going Grey highlighting HOPE and INSPIRATION in Night of Navy marker. A few silver punched stars and a red ribbon in some HPG finish this off. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

The best thing about your election was the number of people turning out to vote. I happen to like the result too but speaking as a Brit where people have become so apathetic about voting, it was so exciting to see the level of participation. Your card turned out great, love the little pop of the silver stars and the way you picked out a couple of words in stronger colour - great stuff!

Great colors and details ~ TFS!
*If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves and pray,
and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins,
and heal their land.* II Chronicles 7:14
