4th of July is next week, so I thought I would do a patriotic card for this week's Limited Supplies challenge -- to incorporate brads in the image, not simply as an embellishment. I put brads in the stars from The Free & the Brave. You can still see a little of the color around the silver brads. The eagles and flag are from a gorgeous stamp from Rubber Cottage. The flag and flagpole are colored with markers, but the beaks are colored with a SU watercolor pencil. I didn't have a marker the right shade for the beaks.

Beautiful card. I love this image, Lois! I saw an eagle yesterday flying across the lake and it went right over our heads. What an amazing and majestic sight that was.
