Stars and Stripes

I started with air mail envelopes. They have that fabulous red, white, and blue border. Then I printed out vintage postcard images and added some glitter. I added vintage sheet music, baker’s twine, and other embellishments for a simple, easy decoration.
I used some old beach photos as well. They have a wonderful nostalgic feel.
I hope you’re having a Festive Fourth!
