Anything Goes

Hello

To all in the States Happy 4TH Of July:-) I don't know how I am celebrating today here in the U.S But I will figure it out as the day goes on:-)

I'm here with a card for All That scraps new challenge and that is "ANYTHING GOES" I love these because whatever "speaks" to me is what I love to go with and Red, White, & Blue was calling me this time around:-)

I've added my card to some other challenges listed below and some have what I used or the answer to a challenge question:-)

I used Sweet November Patty for my card you can find her HERE

I added swirls in red, white and blue cardstock made with a die from spellbinders and then just added a few stars I hand cut with a few sparklies

I did something a bit different and colored her hair with Shin Han Twin Touch markers and the rest in my Copic markers, and to add sparkle I used a stardust pen around the stars and swirls.

Other challenges I am entering are:

Pause dream enjoy challenge: who or what left footprints on my heart is the question and my answer is when my middle son went into the Army right out of high school and spent 15 months in Iraq forever changed my life and left a lasting foot print on my heart
