The Free and the Brave

 

I first stamped Statue of Liberty on my white cardstock panel. I colored her with the Copic markers shown - YG11, YG03, and C1. I created a mask  with a large piece of "sticky paper."  I  placed the mask over Lady Liberty.  Then using my stamping platform I inked up the blue star field at the top and stamped it over Lady Liberty.   I reinked the stamp over and over again until I was satisfied with the intensity of the blue ink for the starry field.  I repeated the same process for the red stripes.  

The verse is from a past release and is called Home of the Brave. It was heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder over Versafine black ink. Then I used a red dye-based marker to color in the letters.  I trimmed it closely, layered it and mounted it on the card.  

There is a wonderful "Gotta Have It All" price with a great discounted price for every stamp of the TJ June release.
