Here is my creation with one of Simon Says Stamp's exclusive stamp sets! As Simon Says Stamp is based in the United States of America I thought I'd make my birthday card like the American flag!! I stamped various stamps from the set onto coredinations cardstock to start and then distressed it with vintage photo distress ink.
For the flag I used a piece of red stripe paper from Magnolia (I checked a photo of the flag to make sure I got the correct number of stripes and the layout of the stars!). The blue is a piece of coredinations cardstock and the stars are Mark Richards' Crystal Stickers.
I stamped the Statue of Liberty stamp with Walnut Stain distress ink and stamped a Hero Arts text stamp over it with Frayed Burlap distress ink before inking the whole thing with Vintage Photo.
The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy and the brads are from my stash.
