Now, onto my card for the day! I am so in love with this Not Forgotten set and matching Old Flag background image! Here I have stamped the image and background flag on very vanilla card stock with memento black ink. I then colored the flag with copics, crumpled up the images and rubbed old paper distress ink directly over the wrinkles to give it that aged look!
To finish off the card, I added some star brads from Stampin' Up, and some Sheer iridescent red/blue organza ribbon from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store!
Now, onto the next stop on the hop! Head on over to Lisa's amazing blog!!
Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great weekend!!
Connie
