America the Beautiful

 

Hi Friends!

This week the Design Team at Stamp Simply are sharing a few patriotic cards. Today I am sharing a patriotic card designed using stamps, dies and paper all from Stamp Simply!  

I love all things Americana and Patriotic and the Old Glory Bundle is perfect for creating cards as well as décor items. 

Plus, Stamp Simply has several other fabulous Patriotic stamps perfect for Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veteran’s Day or just every day!

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #587-#588 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

I hope you have a chance to check out the rest of the inspiration from the Stamp Simply Design Team as well as from the Word Art Wednesday Challenge site.

The USA image from the Old Glory Bundle was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock and heat set with a heat tool.

After die-cutting with the coordinating die from the Old Glory Bundle, the image was colored with watercolor pencils along with water-based markers.

Two additional die cuts from white cardstock were layered behind the USA image.

The Echo Park Let Freedom Ring 6x6 paper pad is perfect for summer and patriotic cards! The small banner flags were die cut from the Fishtail Sentiment Banners dies and mounted behind the sentiment panel from the paper pad.

The white cardstock background was embossed with the 3D Lumber EF and mounted onto navy cardstock.

The stars were die cut from the Old Glory Bundle from silver metallic cardstock and scraps of the Echo Part Let Freedom Ring paper (plus the horizontal red and white striped strip is a paper scrap as well).

This card will be perfect for a summer encouragement or birthday card (we have several family members born on July 4^th).
