A Tribute to my Country


Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's card has two motivation prompts, the sketch & photo challenge below, and the stamp set that I purchased at the Philippines during my last visit. The stamp set I am using is by Ink Scribbler. I bought this at Craft Central. I am so glad that I finally am able to use it on a project.

I used the sketch below for my card layout. I used the colors on the photo inspiration on my card. I adapted the colors of the drawer, the color of the dresser and also the texture of the wall.

I stamped the images on the cardstock using varied inks. I used Versamark ink on the black and brown cardstock. I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo on the cream cardstock. And, I used Versafine Onyx Black ink on the light blue cardstock. I used the Misti Stamping Tool in stamping. This allowed me to re-stamp the image if needed. I poured varied embossing powders to the stamped images. I poured Ranger Seafoam White EP on the Versamark. I poured clear embossing powder on the Versafine and the brown ink. I heat set this.


Luckily, I have a postage die that closely matches the size of the stamped images. 

I die cut a wood background patterned paper using a postage die from SugarPea Designs. I inked the edges of this die cut using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo and Hickory Smoke. I adhered the stamped images to this panel using adhesive foam.

For the background panel, I trimmed a kraft cardstock at 5 1/2" x 4 1/2". This cardstock was also purchased at the Philippines on a previous visit. I bought it at Papemelroti. To add texture to this panel, I ran this through a paper crimper. I don't know about you but yes, I still have my paper crimper. I flicked some gold mica paint to this panel. I set this aside to dry.

For the sentiment, I die cut the label using a scrap of beveling paper from We R Memory Keepers. I die cut the sentiment to this label die cut. The sentiment die is from Spellbinders. I added grommets to the ends of the die cut label.

I adhered the postage die cut panel to the crimped panel. I adhered the sentiment label on the bottom of the postage die cut panel. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
