PSC39:Anything Goes with Red, White & Blue

Happy 4th of July my friends!!! The challenge we have for you today here at The Perfect Sentiment is perfect for this wonderful holiday and it's an "Anything Goes" challenge which I think most everyone loves since you have so many creative opportunities with this type of challenge.

Here are the details for this week's challenge..."In honor of Independence Day we are letting you celebrate your freedom by choosing the occasion for your sentiment. You are also allowed to choose the type of project you would like to create. Card, Tag, ATC, Altered Art etc.". Yay...I just LOVE these types of challenges : )

Here's my project for this week...

I made a 4th of July Amercian Pride bucket. I used one of the French floral buckets left over from my wedding...great way to re-purpose an item you aren't using anymore.

I cut some star shapes out of various cardstock & paper collections using a cart from my Cricut. I then added some Americana embellis to top them off & adhered them to some skewer sticks I inked up.

Here's the backside...has to look nice from all angles right???

This was such a fun project to create. Not only is this an item I can proudly display in my home in honor of our Nation's Freedom but it's also a great way to up-cycle an item you are no longer using.

Now for some amazing inspiration from my fellow DT Members........
