To Celebrate Flag Day - Kitchen Sink Stamps

For my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored slimline design today, I have returned to the Stars & Stripes American Flag to create a card in honor of Flag Day which is celebrated across the United States on June 14. I have included a strip of one of the newly released digital backgrounds from the set called Linear Backgrounds. These are created by KSS for those people who love foiling their cards. That is not a skill that I have mastered so I used it here by printing it on white cardstock and blending a variety of blues over the top of the panel.

In addition to Linear Backgrounds, Kitchen Sink Stamps has also released Wild Side, Happy Flowers, and Elegant Scrolls for your foiling delight! 

The eagle topped flag pole is a part of an SVG cut file set created for use with Stars & Stripes American Flag. Check it out!

This card has been entered in the following challenges this week:

Crafty Calendar June Challenge - Summertime
