The bald eagle is an iconic image for the United States along with the stars and stripes of our U.S. flag. For those abroad, the 4th represents the 4th of July or our Independence Day. |

I used the FMS sketch to creatively place the sentiment. The number four is from a Valentines Day die set. All I did was seperate the 4 from the rest of the pack. It was the perfect size for my design. |

This image shows a wood pattern that was stamped lightly in white. It adds nice texture and creates a sense of Americana. The stars and strips were popped up using foam tape. The four is also popped up using some stacked die-cutting. |

Love the clean and modern feel of this design! Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week.
This is such a fantastic card! I just love the patriotic theme! That eagle in the background is fabulous as well! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
WOW! Your card is one big allegory, Shawn. I love how you symbolically depicted the US flag, these scattered stars look great. I also love the eagle, it is a symbol of strength. Super card for Independence Day.
hugs,
