TCC217 One Nation Under God

 

Hi Friends!

It’s time for our May #217 Patriotic Décor Challenge at The Card Concept!

I was inspired by the flags, crochet doily, vintage style of the décor and the colors for my Shabby and Vintage/ Mixed Media card.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Festive Friday #FF0184 National Wine Day (Red, White, Something Shiny- Gold Twine)  and the Word Art Wednesday #698-#699 Anything Goes Challenge.

To create this card:-

Heat emboss the USA flag map image onto white cardstock using clear embossing powder and color with colored pencils/water-based markers. 

“Antique” with distress oxide ink and a splatter stamp before die cutting with the coordinating die.

Cut the two pieces of designer paper, distress the edges and adhere to a piece of navy cardstock.

Add the strip of crochet lace and layer the striped grosgrain along with the navy grosgrain ribbon.

Loop the metallic gold twine under the USA flag map image and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Repeat the embossing steps above with the “One Nation Under God” sentiment, color with colored pencils and water-based markers, die cut with an oval die, mount onto another oval die cut from navy cardstock, loop the gold twine under the sentiment and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Adhere the entire card front onto a white card base to finish off the card.

I hope you have had a chance to stop by The Card Concept to see how the rest of the Design Team were inspired as well as check out the other challenge gallery entries! Gorgeous work from everyone!
