My project for today started by using a mat board I distressed, some sheet music and distressing it a bit also, a strip of red aged star paper on top. I used a die cut for my blue star, topped it with a crocheted star and a small flag, made from torn strips of kraft popped on to the red background, a small piece of blue is topped with buttons.. The mason cord was aged a bit, (all my ribbon was a bit too bright for this piece) tied it and added a red pleated circle topped with wired silver sparkle and a little red star. Added a little star in the bottom corner, and a little sticker "Home" in the top left corner.
