Saluting Eagle

This card was made using the eagle from Campin' Critters. He is cut at 5 1/2." The card base is 4 1/2"x6 1/4." I used white cardstock, then cut a red layer 1/8" smaller and the blue star paper 1/8" smaller than that. I off-set the eagle a little for a more unique look. The large pale blue star is from George and Basic Shapes, cut at 2 1/2." The three smaller stars are two star punches, then layered together. I also off-set the stars. The brown part of the eagle is flocked. I used gems and pearls for the badges on the sash. His eyes are vintage photo Distress Stickles and I used glossy accents on his beak and crackle accents on his feet. The red and white stars are covered in star dust and x-mas red Stickles. I also used a pop-dot to adhere the middle star.
I made this card for the following challenges:
