Super challenge! Stars are perfect for Memorial Day!
I stamped my greeting in two colors & used a mini tag to die to cut it. I wanted the hole on both ends, so I cut the entire tag, embossed it, then flipped the die around to cut the hole on the other end. I colored 2 white mini brads w/ a dk red Copic to match.
The largest star die was used to cut the star out of the striped paper & I backed this layer w/ the navy blue chevron paper. I also used two stars to die cut a white star frame to insert. The eagle was stamped & I used a red Copic to color some of his feathers. He was fussy cut & attached on top of the star cut out. The small stars were stamped & die cut with one of the smaller star dies. I added a red, white & blue banner across the top with a fussy cut little flag in the center.
Happy Memorial Day! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Wow... I can almost hear the fireworks when I look at this fantastic card. The way you designed it feels like it is bursting off the page. Very cool eagle image in the center. Terrific card.
