Red Rubber Designs - Liberty

Continuing the Patriotic theme today, I am featuring the Red Rubber Designs stamp called Liberty.  The sayings on the card are from the United We Stand stamp set.

Since the image is a statue, I decided not to make it colored but just to make it look like the statue.  I used Copic markers YG91 and BG 93.  Using a Hydra Sponge and straight-edge piece of paper I sponged colors around the image with Palette inks L'Amore and Starry Night.  The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.

I stamped the sayings with the same colored ink pads.  Then I cut a frame using the Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame and ran a checked ribbon through the loops and tied a bow.  The frame is placed on a red card base that is embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  It really doesn't show much, however.

Thanks for checking out my card today!  Wishing you patriotic days as we have finished Memorial Day but approach our nation's Independence Day next month. 

This Thursday, June 7th, is the day for new June Releases.  So check the Red Rubber Designs website for all the new releases.  Also the blog will have a fun blog hop with a game and prizes.  See you then.

Red Rubber Designs - Red, White, Blue

 

Happy Memorial Day!  Red, White, Blue is the theme for my Red Rubber Designs card this week.  The RRD stamp set America I Love is the perfect set to do this theme.  It can be used for a special patriotic celebration card. 

 

I've also used a saying from the United We Stand stamp set.  The background for my card is red cardstock cut with Spellbinders Lacey Rectangles and a piece of blue cardstock run through the Corru-Gator Paper Crimper.  Inks used are Memento Tuxedo Black and Palette Starry Night.  The image is colored with a variety of Copic markers (too many to name). The base card is Premium White Cardstock.  Sticker jewels are added for accent.

It is Memorial Day, and Red Rubber Designs is having a sale today.  Go shop and get free shipping plus free cling mount for any stamps purchased.  

Here's hoping you have great celebrations of our nation this summer on Memorial Day and Independence Day.

Red Rubber Designs - Patriotic

 

Memorial Day is this month, and we honor our service men and women.  Last week I previewed the United We Stand new release stamp set for you and told you to come back to see my card made with that set.  Here it is, a patriotic card to honor our service men and women.

The base card is Premium White Cardstock and the printed paper is from the Just Like Dad paper pad.  I also used the Corru-Gator on a section of green cardstock to be placed behind the main image.

  The image is colored with Copic markers (R37, B18, YG93, YG95, YG97, E11, E35, E70, E71, E74).  The image is cut out with Spellbinders dies Classic Circles Lg and Petite Scalloped Circles Lg. 

Rick rack trim accents the corrugated cardstock to tie the red color to the flag.  Inks used are Memento Tuxedo Black for the image and saying and Color Box Chalk Ink Olive Pastel to sponge the edges of the circle image and the saying.

Thank you for looking at my card.  You can find more patriotic stamps at Red Rubber Design in the section of New Releases this month.
