Happy 4th Card

Happy 4th of July Everyone!
Here is a fun free card idea for you!
This card is designed around the flag stamp. It ended up with an interesting shape and I love the colors. Here is what you need to make your own card!
Flag stamp: this is one I carved out of an eraser. There are lots of flag rubber stamps at scrapbook stores and online.
Cardstock: blue, dark red, white
Corrugated paper: dark blue
Pigment ink: blue, red
Pigment pens: blue, dark red
Brads: pewter squares
Paper trimmer or scissors
1 Color the flag stamp with pens and stamp on white cardstock. Trim and ink edges with blue.
2 Mat piece on corrugate paper. Trim and ink edges with red.
3 Mat piece on dark red cardstock. Trim and ink edges with blue.
4 Make a card base from blue cardstock. I chose a rectangular shape to mimic the shape of the flag. Ink edges with red. Attach brads. Adhere matted piece.
Enjoy!
