Hi Friends!
I am still
celebrating Independence Day! This card
was another one that I designed using the Stamp Simply Patriotic Bundle Trio (stamps sets- Old Glory,
Patriotic Sentiments along with the coordinating Patriotic Stars & Stripes
Die).
I decided to go Clean
and Layered for this card and am participating with the Cardz 4 Guyz #248 “Red,White and Blue” Challenge, The Male Room #139 “Use Die Cuts” Challenge and the Make My Monday #126 “Stars and/or Stripes” Challenge.
To create this card:
Using Versafine™ Onyx
Black Ink, stamp the USA image and sentiment onto white cardstock.
Color the images with
watercolor pencils and water-based markers.
FYI- My coloring on the sentiment went a bit outside of the lines due to frayed marker tips- oops! So I used an extra fine black marker to create a slight shadow to cover up the mistake....the actual sentiment from the set stamps so well- time to buy new markers, lol!
Use the coordinating
die to die cut the USA image and cut an additional two more dies from white
cardstock. Layer behind the colored
image and add dimensional foam (or, use chipboard), set aside.
Create the sentiment banner
by trimming and cutting flag ends by hand.
Mount the sentiment onto red cardstock, trimming to match the banner
ends.
Emboss a piece of
white cardstock with the swirled embossing folder, trim and mount onto red
cardstock.
Add the 1” red satin
ribbon strip, wrapping the ends behind the panel. Mount the layered sentiment with dimensional foam
or chipboard.
Die cut stars from
red and navy cardstock along with silver foil. Adhere the sentiment to the card front and add
the stars around using dimensional foam/chipboard.
Mount the USA image
to finish off the card.

Fabulous patriotic card AND red, white and blue. I really like the added texture the embossed white card stock gives the card. The silver stars add sparkle too.
