Red, White and Blue

Good morning all....and a warm welcome to summer!  What a heat wave we've been having, but I think it is to cool down a wee bit now.  Might actually be able to sit outside again!

I've gone with the 'out of the box technique' for this little cutie from Saturated Canary.  It just so happens to fit their challenge theme this week, but I actually made it for their Guest DT call.  I'm sure I don't stand a chance, but what the heck...nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I just adore Krista's images!

Coloured with copics, I've matted it up with a number of layers, adding some white rub-ons to dress up the blue card blank.  I really must choose my papers before I do my colouring.....it took me ages to actually decide on this design!  I went through my entire stash of papers, and even tried making my own DP, but nothing worked.

Products used:
Freebie Image from Saturated Canary -  Canary Love
Spellbinders dies - Fleur de Lis Squares and Beaded Circles
Fiskars - corner punch

Thanks for visiting, and now for some challenges I'll be entering.
