Hi Friends!
Today I am sharing a
card in honor of Veterans Day.
I love the patriotic
sets from Stamp Simply and feel
that we can never thank our veterans enough for the sacrifices that they and
their families have made in service to our country.
My card features The
Red, White and Blue Bundle along with the Patriotic Sentiments stamp set,
the 3D Brick Embossing Folder and Navy Seam Binding (all from Stamp Simply).
If you have not had
a chance to check out
my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!
To create this card:
Trim a piece of
white cardstock to 4” x 5 ¼” and emboss with the Sizzix
3D Brick Embossing Folder (I inked the interior of the folder with Antique
Linen Distress Ink prior to embossing).
Trim the embossed
panel to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”, distressing the edges slightly.
Mount onto a piece
of red cardstock, distress the edges and mount onto the 4 ¼” x 5 ½” navy panel.
Add the navy
seam binding strip, wrapping the ends behind the panel. Adhere the double
navy seam binding bow.
Mount the panel onto
a white card front.
Ink the sentiments
from The
Red, White, and Blue stamp set and Patriotic
Sentiments stamp set with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto prepared white cardstock, apply clear
embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Die cut the
sentiments using Fishtail
Sentiment Banners Dies (also die cutting banners from red and navy
cardstock).
Distress the
sentiment panels with a stencil brush and Antique Linen Distress ink.
Layer the red and
navy banners behind the sentiments and mount onto the card front using
dimensional foam.
Ink the flag image
from The
Red, White and Blue with Versafine
Black Onyx ink, stamp onto white cardstock and heat set the ink with a heat
tool.
Watercolor the image
with watercolor pencils and water-based markers.
Die cut with the
coordinating die and mount onto an additional die cut from plain white
cardstock.
Adhere the flag
image with dimensional foam to finish off the card.
