I love the latest stamps from KellyCraft featuring the Robertson family of Duck Dynasty fame. They are such characters, so typical of southerners. One thing I really love about this family is their love of our country, so I decided to make this card featuring Willie Robertson using some of my Makin's Air Dry Clay star embellishments that I made with bits and pieces of leftover clay from another project. As a matter of fact, all the pieces in this card are from leftovers. Pieces of paper and card stock that were too big to throw away have been inked to blend with my burgundy, navy and beige color scheme. The jute is left from a long-ago project that I don't even remember. The phrase stamp is a retired stamp from Stampin'Up!® that I have always loved. Here's how I made it: Supplies KellyCraft Jimbo Lojik Acrylic Stamps (Duck Commander Clear Polymer, Set 1) Mason Jar die (Eileen Hull for Sizzix)  Makin's White Air Dry Clay Makin's Clay Star Cutter,
