God Bless America Stars

Handstamped by Tracy L.

Instructions:

1. Stamp the flag on light naturals cardstock in Cranberry ink with the star block in Outdoor Denim ink. Use the Place-A-Stamp tool to line up the star block if desired. Rip around flag. Mount on Cranberry and Outdoor Denim cardstocks.

2. Use the Outdoor denim marker to ink just the word "America" in the saying. Stamp on a strip of light naturals cardstock. Add star shaped brad fasteners to either side of the word. Mount on Outdoor Denim cardstock.

3. Take a 5x 3 3/4 inch piece of Outdoor Denim gingham paper. With a round sponge rub Desert Sand ink over the gingham paper. This is called Tea Staining. It's a great technique to use when you are using cream colored cardstocks but your patterned paper has a white background.

4. Mount the gingham paper onto Outdoor denim cardstock and add to the front of a naturals card. Add the flag to the top and the saying with stars near the bottom.
