July 4th, Holdiay Frame Art

Frame measures 10 x 8. All embellishments are handmade/stamped. Lots of patriotic red, white & blue with some glimmer paper for the ‘sparkle’ to represent the Star-Spangled Banner. The piece of cream card stock running from top to bottom at centre-right represents the Declaration of Independence.
