I pulled out old techniques and new to create this patriotic tag! It was such fun to make, and really put me into the celebrating spirit! I can't wait for fireworks tonight!

I cut a piece of Ranger's Gloss Cardstock to fit inside a #10 Black Surfaces Tag. I applied drops of Alcohol Ink onto the Gloss and used a can of compressed air to blow it out into my fireworks, as per Tim's technique that he showed us long ago. LOVE the results! Then I die cut pieces I would use for the tag and used the instructions suggested for the technique.

I added Salty Ocean Distress Ink to the bottom of the tag for a water look, and inked in the new Hickory Smoke to the top of the tag in the sky. I then stamped the New York Cityscape onto the tag in Jet Black.

I added drops of Picket Fence Distress Paint to the sky as well for more firework effect. I attached the Gloss to the tag by sewing around the borders and also adding a strip of Film Strip Ribbon to the bottom. Then I added the houses at the bottom.

I love this old stamp I've had for ages of the Star Spangled Banner, and I stamped it in Jet Black over the shield. I used a gold paint pen to add to the pieces as well. I also screwed in a Screw Eye into the Game Piece, and added charms. The star was added to the blue field in the flag as well.

 

 

 

I hope you can play along on this frosty challenge! Thanks for everything everyone!!! And be safe celebrating!!!
