My project this week is a 6"X6" card, the stripe paper by BasicGrey. I found the "Declaration" on line and it is tucked behind my patterned papers. I especially had fun with the torn and aged piece I mounted my "Freedom" from "Graphically Speaking" cart on. I tore some white packing paper and put it in my scanner with a piece of black on top, scanned it in and then printed it out. I then went to work on it with my copic markers, begging out the creases and folds. One thing I really want to share is a new Copic color released at CHA 2012, "Gray Sky" BG90, for those of you that love to do shading this is a MUST HAVE color. I cut Freedom from velum and then airbrushed with copics, I used a straight rule, leaving just a smidge uncolored and then went over the area with white. The metal ribbon circle is hand hammered florist wire, with misc ribbon attached, I am loving the hammered wire, what a way to relieve stress, lol.
Thanks for visiting my blog, but most of all for supporting our fun fun Cricut Challenges, I look forward to seeing how you work your patriotism into your projects over the next couple of weeks. hugs
