My absolute final Patriotic "stick-in"

I know I said that I was finished with this swap, but these were too much fun to stop with just three sets. I was putting some magazines away and found these flags. I couldn't pass up the chance to make a spread using flags in some way.

I started by swiping red and blue stripes on card stock, then watered down the excess paint I had on my palette. I dipped paper towels in the paint and allowed them to dry. When dry, I glued them over the painted card stock. In the meantime, I cut out the flags and pole and glued these on top. This was fun, but I promise, this is my final contribution to this swap.
