Sandra<\/a> went for a dimentional stars and stripes card using Prima Moulds like Cogs and Wings<\/a> and Mechanica<\/a> and Art Stones<\/a> for the dimentional part, and she used Opal Magic Blue-Gold<\/a>, Metallique Steampunk Copper<\/a> and Distress Paint Fired Brick<\/a> to add some color to the back along with Nuvo Shimer Powder Catherine Wheel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
