I'm coming in with only a few hours to spare to join the ladies at The Twofer Challenge, who have a fun theme for us to play with.  The theme is STARS, so Here are my Twofers together.

Let Freedom Ring.......

Hello everyone: It's my ever-present hope that you and your families are doing well, staying healthy and safe.  We are doing fine up here, my family and I are still in lockdown, venturing out only for groceries, wearing our masks and gloves, this makes me think of how free we felt before this pandemic started, now, even a trip to the store is a worrisome task.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This card needs no sentiment, I believe the images speak for themselves.

The Flag is from Our Daily Bread and it's called Old Flag, the image of the line of Soldiers is from Deep Red Stamps and it's called Band of Soldiers.

The Flag was stamped on Strathmore Bristol paper with gray Stazon ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils, the Soldiers were stamp on the same paper with Versafine black ink, clear heat embossed and fussy cut.

**********************************************************

Here's the INSIDE.

The sentiment was stamped with a very old alphabet set, the letters are kind of wonky looking and hard to keep from toppling over either side, if it wasn't for the MISTI stamping the letters would have been even harder.

The little Flag waving little girl is from an old Flourishes set called "Patriotism on Parade" (2009)

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

The Card Concept

I was inspired by the Flags and colors to create

my Shabby and Vintage card.

Thank you for visiting.

Stay safe and healthy.
