Joanne has a marvelous sketch for us over at The Paper Players! I just happened to have a pair of card panels sitting on my desk from an earlier playtime. Claire inspired me with her patriotic card to 'make one work' for Joanne's sketch and LeAnne inspired my shopping spree at HoneyBee!
My large oval [Avery Elle] was cut from one of those aforementioned panels that were created
by stamping this fantastic HoneyBee Land of the Free cover rubber stamp onto
white with red ink, blue with navy ink, and red with dark red ink.
You might recognize my last sketch - FMS740? I used that design to cut the panels using an old die from SSS into rolling hills then put them back together using
one red, one white, one blue.
The white banner is C&9th - star from Ellentina [and my first meetup w/Marcia!] -
and this wonderful sentiment is one of fourteen in the HoneyBee Because of the Brave sentiment set.
OH, before anyone writes asking me about that embossing -
it is from Provo Craft for Cuttlebug and purchased in 2010 or before - sorry!
HERE is a good substitute!
Thanks to all three of the Paper Players for bringing my card to life today!

Great card and fabulous design! I'm pretty sure I own that embossing folder.
I also wanted to say that Honey Bee makes the BEST sentiment bundles too!
Wonderful and beautiful! I love the patriotic flair, detailed flowy cuts and flag-esque feeling to this card. I also happen to remember that e/f from days gone by.
Awesome card my friend!! Love all you put into that oval and the embossed white stars behind it...lovely, lovely patriotic card Michele!! Hugs. :0)
Great patriotic card, Michele! I love the embossed backdrop and that Land of the Free stamp is so cool. Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players!
What a glorious card, Michele!
This is so perfect to celebrate our nation's birthday, Michele! WOW!
What a wonderful card and such an imaginative way to use the sketch. I own that EF too - time to pull it out!. Love your red, white and blue oval - fabulous!
That last comment was me! xx

You packed a lot of creativity into that little space! The cut of the sentiment is amazing, and I love how the banner waves across the oval giving anchor to the sentiment and the primitive star. Your photo shows the embossed background beautifully, too!
This is my favorite patriotic card this year! I love every wonderful detail!
Love the "deconstructed" flag and those rolling hills! And now we're all wishing Cuttlebug would bring back that amazing folder or pull it out of their vault. The texture is amazing!
Michele, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this gorgeous patriotic card. The embossed stars are amazing and the rolling hills panel is brilliant! So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
Fantastic embossed panel for your patriotic focal point. FABULOUS
Well this is just fabulous Michele! The dimension on the star embossed panel is awesome and I love that you used an oval as the panel - cleverly inked and stamped too. A great take on the sketch for sure. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
