Hi Friends!
Welcome to the #226 {Patriotic
Blooms} Challenge at The Card Concept!
I love all things
patriotic and the ribbon/colors as well as the Patriotic theme inspired my
Clean and Layered/Mixed Media card.
We hope that you will
take a moment to stop by our challenge blog and check out how the rest of our wonderful
Design
Team was inspired. Our
challenge is for the entire month, so we are hoping that you will have time to
create a card and join us.
To create this card:
Ink the USA map image
from Old
Glory (Stamp Simply Stamps) with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto white
cardstock and heat set with a heat tool.
Using watercolor
pencils and water-based markers, watercolor the image.
Fussy cut the image and
set aside.
Ink the sentiment “One
Nation Under God” from the Old
Glory stamp set onto the lower right hand corner area on a piece of 3.75” x
5” piece of white cardstock.
Color the “Nation”
part of the sentiment with a red water-based marker.
Mount the sentiment panel
onto a piece of dark blue cardstock.
Add a strip of white
crochet lace along with a piece of 1 ½” dark blue grosgrain ribbon (wrapping
the ends of the ribbon behind the panel).
Add three strips of ¼”
red grosgrain ribbon onto the navy ribbon (again, wrapping the ends behind the
panel).
Adhere the card front
panel onto a white card base.
Mount the USA image
onto the card with dimensional foam and add a few silver rhinestones to finish
off the card.
I enjoy playing along
