Created this Patriotic red/white/blue Card using 3 strips of americana Kraft cardstock red/off-white/blue, the Paper Studio Tiny Stars embossing folder,Tim Holtz Regal Crest,
Buzz Magic/Stamp n Plus chalk from Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe, Spellbinder Grommet Tag & a USA clear stamp.
The card base is white cardstock. There are 3 strips of americana Kraft cardstock cut 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" each in colors:
red/off-white/blue. The red & blue strip are attached the the white cardstock with the off-white being attached over the center. Used Tim Holtz Regal Crest die cut. The Eagle is stamped on the Regal Crest. After the Eagle stamped image has dried I used VersaMark ink on the Regal Crest before applying the chalk. Used foam spouncers (they are like daubers but have a larger surface head and easier to clean, bought these at WalMart in a pkg of different sizes) and they worked really well to apply the red/white/blue chalks:Candy Apple, Stardust & Sky. The Stardust chalk gives it the glitter look. The photo does not do it justice as to how nice the chalk looks. Used Spellbinder die cut for Grommet Tag. Stamped sentiment on Grommet Tag. Used Tim Holtz idea-ology long fasteners/brads in the holes of the Grommet Tag. Used foam adhesive to attach Regal Crest & Grommet Tag on front of card for dimension.
Closeup of Regal Crest with chalk used. Photo does not do it justice on how nice the red/white/blue chalk looks over the Eagle stamped on the Regal Crest.
