Stars and Stripes for 4th July

So, as the new challenge is starting today, the 4th of July, Jenny has chosen Stars and Stripes as her theme over at MAWTT. And here is what I have created:

I used a pre-cut card base and then a star nesting circles die set - I believe this was from Creative Dies. I cut the middle circle on a pale aqua paper, and the inner circle and star on darker striped paper. I used the darker paper and the largest circle on the inside of the card (difficult to see in this picture though). I then added some peel-offs to make it a much more romantic card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafting by design - Anything Goes

Addicted to CAS #162 Wedding (not sure if it counts as CAS because of the pre-cut edge?)

intaas #61 Stars/Stripes

CCM #237 Dies or punches

Daring Cardmakers #108 Cut it up

Simon Says Wednesday - Stars/Stripes

I would also like to share my Roses with you. This first one is to the right of my door (coming out);

And this second one is to the left and is not doing as well at all!

I have also started sanding back my chair (and making a complete mess in the process haha)

Thanks for looking,
