Penguin Pants Stamping Challenge

Recently I joined a forum that was formed for Penguin Pants Stamping. The forum I joined can be located at SNR.
Penguin Pants Stamping is a fairly new Online Stamp Store and they really have some cute stamps. Ann issued a Red, White and Blue Challenge at the forum so I decided to give it a try. I needed to make a couple of 4th of July cards to send off. One for my sister and one for my sister-in-law. So this is the first one I got made. Nothing really fancy but I did have some fun with an old Stampin' Up wheel that hadn't seen ink in ages. I used a new product that I recently purchased. It is called paper floss. I tied the button with it. it is quite interesting. It is a little like raffia only in a string form and it comes in a container just like dental floss. It is really easy to work with and comes in a ton of colors. It looks a lot like jute but is easier to handle. Jute can be very stiff and this product is stiffer then embroidery floss but more pliable then Jute. The card is pretty basic but all the little bees have yellow stickles on their heads and the stars have diamond dust. So it is a pretty sparkly card. The stars are popped up on dimensionals to give the card a little more lift since I only made it with 2 layers. I haven't done a 2 layer card in ages. Every once in a while you just have to shake things up. Don't you think?
