Pledge of Allegiance

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a fairly quick patriotic card created with stamps, dies, lace and paper all from Stamp Simply.  

I decided to pair two stamp sets, Old Glory and The Pledge of Allegiance along with paper from the Fourth of July from Carta Bella.

I enjoy playing along with online card challenges and will be linking this card to the Addictedto Stamps and More #466- Make Your Mark Challenge along with the Word Art Wednesday#643-644 “Anything Goes” Challenge.  

To create this card:

Trim the two pieces of designer paper (the white lined and red starred) from the Carta Bella Fourth of July 6x6 paper pad to approx. 4” x 2.5” and layer onto a piece of white cardstock.

Ink The Pledge of Allegiance stamp with Versafine Black Onyx ink and stamp onto the lined designer paper. 

Ink the Patriotism sentiment from The Pledge of Allegiance stamp set with Versafine Black Onyx ink onto the star patterned paper, heat set with a heat tool. 

Cut the dark blue lined designer paper to approx. 1 ½” x 4 “ and adhere a strip of the crochet lace behind the designer paper before adhering to the center of the card front.

Stamp the USA flag map image from Old Glory using Versafine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock, heat set the ink with a heat tool.

Watercolor the image with watercolor pencils and water-based markers before die cutting with the coordinating die (I also die cut two additional USA map images from plain white cardstock to layer behind the colored image).

Mount the layered panel onto a white card base.

To finish off the card, add a strip of red starred designer paper to the center.
