Simon Says: Stars and Stripes

Here is my entry for the challenge on:

Simon Says Monday Blog:

Stars and Stripes.

The American flag is a stamp by Tim Holtz

and done in two colors of distress oxide ink.

The sentiment is printed with the computer.

These coffee cups are a rubber stamp by

Michael Strong and colored with a waterbrush

and candied apple and broken china distress oxide ink.

The golden stars are cut out with a paper punch.

The background of this card is made with a stars 

embossing folder. I added the red and the blue ink

to the folder with a splash of water before adding 

the paper in the embossing folder. Gives a great

result after running it through the big shot.

The ribbon is by DL. ART (hand dyed ribbons)

and the sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
