Our challenge for the next two weeks over at Retro Rubber Blog Challenge is a Patriotic theme.
This is one of the few categories that I have limited choices for Retro
Rubber images. Fortunately I do
have this retired set from Technique Tuesday that was perfect for this
challenge.
The flag image from the “Made in USA” was best stamped in
the coloring technique directly on the stamp. I colored each of the sections with Memento Markers in Rich
Cocoa, Cantaloupe, Lady Bug, and Paris Dusk. By breathing on the stamp surface I reactivated the ink
before stamping. By referring the
black image you can determine how to color directly on the stamp surface. The image was stamped on a 2 ¼” square,
with the backing squares in 2 ½” and 2 ¾”. The white and red card stock were inked on the edges with
Tsukineko Versa Magic Night Sky.
The blue card stock was trimmed to 4 ¼’ x 5 ½” (A2 size) and
pressure embossed with Darice Stars Assorted. The raised portions were inked with Tsukineko Versa Magic
Cloud White. Red card stock was
trimmed to 1 3/8” x 5 ½”.
Two of the images from the set were lined up and stamped in Tsukineko
Versa Magic Night Sky. The first
image was lined up from the top then the second right below. The bottom image was stamped next with
the fourth just above it. The
edges were inked as well. The
layers were adhered to a white card stock A2 base. The central image is adhered with dimensional foam
adhesive.

ReplyDeleteLovely details, Neva. The inking over the stars made me think of our core-dinations cardstock which provided a white background when sanded. Frame it and you have permanent holiday home decor for this holiday. Can you tell I really like it?
