I just got these 3D stars by Sizzix/Tim Holtz and had to use them! Red White & Blue... does anyone remember the childrens rhyme "Red white and blue, the queen's got the 'flu, the king's got the whooping cough boo hoo hoo"?
I used the colours of our flag as a starting point (although our flag has 4 stars), used some patterned paper from stash, did a bit of splattering with metallic watercolours, inking with DI's. Navy star dropouts are from another die, a stacked sentiment from Simon Says Stamp popped up with foam tape. The pearlescent shiny background stars are hand drawn using Sakura pen for a bit of glimmer (on some angles they don't show at all - peekaboo), and some faux stitching as a border - I believe flags were originally handsewn not printed.
