SUO177 Patriotic Celebration

Hi Friends!   

It’s time for the #177 “Patriotic Colors” Challenge at SU! Only Challenges!  I decided to create a flag using a few stamps from Work of Art and paired it with the Beautiful You stamp set.

I am also linking this card to the Happy Little Stampers June Watercolour "Anything Goes (opt. twist masking) " Challenge and the Splitcoaststampers CAS433 "Flag Day" Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challenge site to check out the rest of the Design Team projects or the other challenge galleries yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Ink the block image from Work of Art with Night of Navy Classic Ink, stamp off onto scrap paper and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.

2). Ink the straight line image from Work of Art with Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink, stamp off onto scrap paper and stamp onto the panel.  Repeat for the additional stripes for the “flag”.  Lightly spritz the panel with water and dry with the Heat Tool.

3). Use the White Gel Pen to add a few white highlights for “stars”, trim the panel and mount onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  Adhere the entire panel to an Extra Thick Whisper White card base.

4). Ink the Beautiful You girl image with Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Ink, stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and color using a Night of Navy and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker.  Soften the color with an AquaPainter™ and dry with the Heat Tool.  Fussy-cut the image, use a Black Stampin’ Write Marker to outline the edges of the image and mount onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

 5). Ink the sentiment from Beautiful You with Stampin’ Archival™ Basic Black Ink, stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and create the banner points with the retired Hexagon Punch.  Mount onto Night of Navy cardstock, trim and mount onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

6). Use the Clear Wink of Stella® Glitter Pen to add shimmer to the stripes, star area as well as the dress.  Add a few Rhinestones to finish off the card.
