Happy 4th of July Card

The theme at Sentimental Sundays this week is Patriotic!  If you're not in the US, you can still play along of course--just use the colors of your own nation's flag!
For my card I tried to incorporate all kinds of iconic 4th of July elements.  The red gingham ribbon reminds me of a picnic tablecloth.  The splash of stemmed pearls reminds me of a firework, and then there's the star of course, with patriotic verse on it, and tricolor ribbons...

Here are the challenges:
Sentimental Sundays #61 "Patriotic / Your Nation's Flag"

Materials Used on this Card:
Cardstock {Papertrey Ink}
Stamps {Hero Arts}
Ink: Archival Brilliance "Moonlight White" {Tsukineko}
White Galaxy Marker {American Crafts}
Fabric Brads {Making Memories}
