The Rocket's Red Glare

I looked and looked for a challenge to enter this card. Same old story. I find the perfect challenge for a card I posted before the challenge. That's why I hardly ever enter challenges. I just not in sync with the rest of the world.  I'm having fun anyway.


I did see a challenge for a tall skinny card, but I don't remember where (it's that old thing) and it's probably over with anyway.

This is an Inkadinado stamp that I colored with Tombow markers. I cut it out with a Spellbinders die then mounted it on some blue metallic. The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink. I placed a red ribbon under punches.
Also used on this card: Stickles, jewels, Cuttlebug die, Martha Stewart punch and some stars and stripes
ribbon.

PS. Just found a challenge with Diane's help - Sentimental Sundays challenge-61-patriotic-use-colors.
Hugs!
