More 4th of July inspiration

Start with cutting out a label from 

white cardstock.

Next you emboss your tag with a star 

embossing folder. Leave the top part

of the tag out.

Devide the embossed part in three

equal parts and put a piece of post it note

on the middle part.

Take red and blue distress ink and your 

blending tools.

 On one side you colder the embossed part with blue

 and on the otherside you color the embossed

stars with red.

 

When you take away the post

it note, this is the background you have created.

For the next step you need a piece of

watercolor paper and your distress markers.

First you stamp the mini cloisonné

stars by Michael Strong in black archival ink

and then you start coloring the 

inside of the star with the markers.

The girl on this tag I a freebie I found 

online by Anna Stillwell. You can use the colored

picture or color it yourself.

On top of the tag I stamped Happy

and on the botom I used Michael Strongs

number 4 again. This time also

stamped with black archival ink

on the watercolor paper and colored with 

a blue distress marker.

To finish the tag take some red white and blue

ribbons. I used some organza ribbons from 

the Action shop in The Netherlands.

Hope you are happy with all the instructions.

Have a creative day!
