Independence Day is coming up on the 4th of July, this Monday. I really love the way my patriotic card turned out, especially the use of the flowers for the Use Your Stuff challenge. It’s not something I would normally think of! The colors and stars was the theme from Cupcake Inspirations. I used the sketch from Atlantic Hearts, and I’m linking it up to Double Trouble for the unique backgrounds challenge. For my background, I stamped the flag and the sentiment, “Land of the Free.”
I colored my flowers by using the base and shade stamping method. The stamps on this set come this way, with backgrounds that line up perfectly to color in the image. The shading comes in the outline stamp.
Materials used:
Cardstock: Mink, White Daisy
Stamps: Beloved Bouquet, Home of the Brave
Ink: Candy Apple, Bluebird, Intense Black
Beautiful patriotic card.
