Raising The Flag

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made after finishing the book Monuments Men.  I highly recommend the book.  Wow!!  Even though the card is fairly clean and simple, it still took me over 2 weeks to finish it thanks to health issues.  For my card, I dusted off a severely neglected retired Stampin Up set called Courage and Honor.

After stamping my main image in memento tuxedo black, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before highlighting parts of the flag with a white prismacolor pencil and white gel pen.  Once the coloring was finished, I stippled some stormy sky and caramel inks over and around the image before layering.  For the card, I stamped medals included in the Courage and Honor set in artichoke ink onto my card base.  The only embellishments used are some vintage brads and twine.
