We The People

Hello and welcome.  I have another card to share that I made for my friend's #inlovingmemory card drive for veterans.  Since I'm still dealing with this migraine, I decided to use the same colors that I used on my last post only this time, I decided to use a couple of old (and I mean OLD) Rubber Monger stamps sets.  I bought both of these at a stamp convention at least a decade ago and have used sparingly.  I'm thinking the store has closed down since I can't find it online anywhere.

I started out by stamping the Declaration of Independence background on corn husk card stock in Tim Holtz chipped sapphire distress ink before over-stamping the fife and drum corps using the same chipped sapphire ink.  I then stippled chipped sapphire, fired brick, walnut stain and old paper distress inks using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios before layering and adding star brads from my stash.  I then popped the layered panel up using pop up glue dots before adding some brown fibers from my stash (USEIT2023).  The final touch was some retired Not Too Shabby copper sequins.  I then stamped the saying inside from Stampin Up's Service and Sacrafice (retired) in the chipped sapphire ink.

Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co 

Today's featured set is just awesome, in my opinion.  Since I have two nephews currently serving in the military as well as some friends serving, this set is a great way to say thank you for their service to our country.  It's also a great way to say thanks for the families who sacrifice so much while their loved ones are deployed.

My first card uses the eagle stamp in the Be Proud set.  After stamping the image in memento black and coloring with prismacolor markers, I layered the panel alternately between card stock and some designer paper I picked up at Hobby Lobby a year ago before adding some baby star brads.  Once my saying was stamped out, layered, and added, I adhered some patriotic dew drops using micro glue dots, navy ribbon along with a flag charm attached with some thread.

My second card uses the heart stamp and different saying from the same set.  Once the images were stamped and colored, they were cut out and popped up using dimensionals over a die cut scalloped border.  I kept the embellishments fairly simple and used only the dew drops, baby star brads, and ice stickles for the stars on the heart.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs  to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
