Red, White and Blue

While the family was away for the afternoon visiting my mother-in-law, I managed to get another card made.  This one is for two challenges - Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge and Create With Connie & Mary who have a sketch challenge this week.

I am not a fan of bright reds, so used only a tiny bit for an accent color.  The flower was made using the Fancy Flower Punch; the 5-Petal Flower Punch and the long-retired Spring Bouquet Flower Punch that went with the Looks Like Spring set.  After I put the flower together, I liberally sprayed it with Frost White Shimmer spray, heat set it to dry it quickly and then used a Real Red button for the centre. Each layer is popped up with dimensionals so it's definitely a lumpy-bumpy card not designed for the mail.

The photo is a bit glare-y, sorry.  As it gets more into winter here, it's harder to get a natural looking photo and all I have to help is one OTT light.

Here are the challenge details:
