Weekend Workout Stripes and stars

The Simon Says Stamp  Monday Challenge is: Stars and stripes.

I pondered on it all week and when the AAA Cards Challenge Weekend Workout on the Facebook page came out it prompted this card as their theme is multi colour and CAS.

We do not celebrate 4th of July, but Independence day is kind of the birthday of the USA, right? 
Because I don't have independence day stamps,  I used the Simon Says Stamp You Matter with  Versafine Clair nocturne ink.

The Sketched Stripes are from Concord and 9th,  with Memento grey ink and then stamped the stars on top, also Memento. I maske most of the cardfront with a torn

piece of paper, just to get a hint of stripes, but to keep as much white space as I can.

The stars are from the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Balloons set. I  placed all three stars on a block and inked them each time with two colours, rotating the block as I went down the card front.
