Star Die Cut Challenge at Stuck on You Sketches and being "Spotted" by Imaginisce :)

I LOVE stars, and use them all the time, so I was pretty happy when I saw this challenge.  I completed it in July, for our fourth of July gathering.  

It was new for me to do a banner, but I really enjoyed it and plan to make more.  I used an older set of Authentique paper, and also old cardboard from the recycling bin to make the base of the banner.

Here is a shot of the entire banner---It says "Let Freedom Ring".

One of the quintessential American fabrics is denim, and it fit with my red, white, and blue color scheme.  I grabbed my Sizzix #2 Star Die, and cut these stars out of scraps I saved from old throwaway jeans.  I layered it on a stcker, and added a red jewel.

I used some patriotic fabric (stars and flags) that I have had FOREVER, and ripped strips of it to get that frayed look.  Here's another tiny star!

And a teensy sticker...

I loved doing this, and my guests loved it too!

And one more little bit of info...
Remember that project I blogged about not long ago---my daughter's coat---the one I used the irock on?  Well imaginisce "spied" the project and asked if they could feature it on their blog today!!! That was so exciting.  Here is the link if you'd like to check it out :) 

Thanks so much for stopping in today!
