It's a Grand Old Flag

This month flew by which means it is almost July !!!  This card reminds me of  the 4th of July.  I used the beautiful pre-colored digital flag (and sentiment) by Doodle Pantry.  The papers are digital papers by Gina K Designs.  This is my last piece of star "ribbon".  It was in a package of ribbons at a bargain store.  Wish I knew where to get more.
The sketch is the challenge sketch at Operation Write Home .  Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge this week and giving away 3 digital images of your choice to the winner.  You have until June 30th to play.
I do hope you will hop over to OWH.  What a great organization. The U.S. is a mess and I  hate so much that is going on but I still love America.  It is so important to support our troops.  This is one small way we can do that.  What a great, proud feeling I get every time I  take another box of cards addressed to OWH  to the post office.  I know it will bring encouragement to our heroes and/or the family members.
Here is the sketch:
 Challenges:
Stampin Sisters in Christ - flags and banners
Ribbon Carousel - use metal
Stamp and Create - bold and bright
Really Reasonable Ribbon - red, white, blue
DYSU - movie    Airforce One
Love to Create - anything
Incy Wincy - anything
