A Challenge Is a Challenge

I am a member of a fairly small Facebook cardmaking group (less than 100 members). Amongst other things, the group has random challenges from time to time. For instance, right now the Administrators (I am one of them) are to make 3-layer, red/white/blue horizontal cards and the members are to vote for their favorite. So... I took the challenge and made a card. I must say... it is VERY difficult for me to make a decent looking card with just three layers. 

Because of the color scheme I knew I wanted my card to be a patriotic one, but I discovered I really don't have many patriotic stamps. Fortunately, I do have this older Whipper Snapper Designs stamp - Patriotic Bear. He's so cute and I enjoyed inking/coloring him once again. It had been a while.

Yep, not my best card, that's for sure... but a challenge is a challenge.
