the rest of the hop! Now here is my card!
I chose three backgrounds to use for this card!!!
Yes, three!!!
I stamped the Wood Background
first in brown ink and then stamped the Old Flag
Background in black ink. I colored the flag in with copics and
then used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink dragging it over the image to give it
that distressed/aged look. On the background behind the flag layer, I
stamped the Wood
Background in brown and then the He
Shall Be Called Background in black. I did the same inking
technique on this layer but used less ink. Then I tore some lace into
pieces, and glued and smooshed it into place in the corner. I stamped the
sentiment from the God Bless
America set, and cut it out with the Spellbinders Ribbon
Banners die. I glued down the USA charm and hemp twine to
complete the card! Here is a closer view:
Now head on over to Deb's blog to see what she has created

ReplyDeleteWow!! Sandee!! What an awesome use of these BG's That flag looks so vintage, which makes it AWE - INSPIRING!! Love, love love how you put this together!! and that touch of lace is just spot on perfect!! Hugz
ReplyDeleteWow, Sandee! This is amazing! I think it would look sensational as a wall mural...a huge one! Or at least framed. I have a new appreciation for the flag, now that my son has joined the Air Force. I have a new pride in it, and I do believe it should have the "under God" in it, because some people would put it above Him if possible. This is fantastic card. I love what you did with the lace it looks wonderful! And, the charm is great on there. I just think this would be a great CD cover, or something that the larger population should see. It is wonderful.
