Hi everyone and happy June!
Today I bring you my homage to the USA with these two Technique Junkies stamps from the June 2022 release entitled Statue of Liberty #S972 and God Bless the USA #SDX216. I have also included the A Colorful Life Designs stencil Rays.
I stamped the image with Versafine Clair in the color Twilight on white cardstock and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then used a blending brush and some Antique Linen Distress Ink to deepen/age the background.
Next, I Masked off the image and stenciled in the rays with Catherine Pooler in in the color Cranberry Fizz. I trimmed the paper down using my Deckle Trimmer and then aged it even more with some Vintage Photo Distress ink.
Next I splattered some plain water onto the image with a fan brush then mixed some Catherine Pooler Dress Blues with some water on my mat and splattered some blue.
I created the sentiment on a separate scrap with the Twilight ink and clear embossing powder then colored in the bottom half of the letters with the Cranberry Fizz.
I measured out some bakers twine to wrap 4 times around the card and secured it in the back with some washi tape. I then rubbed some Antique Linen Distress Ink onto the twine to age it as well.
I popped the panel up on some Kraft cardstock then popped the sentiment up on top of the twine!
Below is the process video where I made the same but even grungier!
