Let Freedom Ring Challenge, Power Poppy

Yesterday was the 4th of July, and I just saw this challenge at Power Poppies.  They have given some sentiments away too.  One of the rules for this challenge was to use the patriotic colors of your country, and use an image from Power Poppy.  If you use the free sentiment, you get more points. 

Of course, I used the red, white and blue colors for my card.  I thought the strip die from Lil' Inkers would do well on this design.  The base is Navy, I colored the Azalea stamp set with Copic markers.  R20,R24,R27    Then I printed out the free digi sentiment on to the DP from GKD.  I cut that out with a tag die and also a red one to border it on. I still felt that I need to make more sense out of the sentiment, so I added a fishtail tag with Happy 4th and a red star.  Then I felt it looked done and complete.  This will be saved until July 4th, 2015 to be sent out in the mail. 

 
I tried to get a close up shot of the azaleas, but my camera gets bleary. 
 


Here is where you can find out all of the requirements for this challenge.  Have fun!

    This is GORGEOUS!! Love your coloring, you are such a master of the Copic marker! And I must get that background die - so cool how you left some of the die cuts in place to set off the flowers. Really pretty card my dear!

    Beautiful. I really like how you used the blue behind the die but left some white. The azaleas are beautifully colored. The whole effect is so striking.
