Rolodex Swap: Theme Patriotic

For this swap I went the vintage route. For one, I love the vintage look and for two I just love patriotic and vintage together. July's theme for my Rolodex swap on the All Things Tim group is Patriotic and I need to finish all these prior to going on vacation otherwise I fear I may not get them totally done. 
I used lots of Tim's Distress Ink Pads and some distress stain. The red background is Fired Brick distress stain, dried and run through a Sizzix embossing folder. I wiped the embossing folder with Faded Jeans prior to running it through so that it would give it the blue colored stars. So cool!!
I made the flag with Tim's mini Old Glory movers and shapers and glossy paper and used Fadded Jeans and Fired Brick distress stain over the top. 
I also used Vintage Photo distress stain on the endges of the card, photos and also the flag to distress it a little more.
I made the star charm out of metal tape and again Tim's mini Old Glory die set. Punched a hole in the middle added a brad and a loop. 
This one was fun to do and I love the outcome. I am entering this one in the Simon Says Stamp and Show blog contest.. this week is show some brown. Since my edges are done in the brown and vintagy (a word I made up), I think it qualifies.
