Good morning friends! Did you know the week is almost over? Woohoo!Today I'm participating in the Taylored Expressions Blast From The Past. It is fun to participate in these challenges so that you can use older, not recently loved TE stamps.
This time I used a TE stamp that I got last year around this time along with some beautiful patterned paper from Bo Bunny called the Liberty Collection. I just got it from TE this last week and I absolutely adore it...go figure, huh? Do you see the neat printing on the bottom of the blue starred paper? Yep, it says United States Of America and is pre-printed on this particular piece of paper. The eagle/flag paper is from the same paper pack. I used some lovely TE Tiny Twinkles stars (I think that Taylor may not carry this particular set anymore) in the sentiment as well as other places on the card. The particular stamp I used from Taylored Expressions is not available any longer but TE carries lots of very nice patriotic stamps (I NEED the 4th of July Wreath and die!) The base is kraft paper on which I used a little direct to paper technique with white ink. All the rest of the pieces of paper have been distressed with my finger nail. Wish you could see all the detail as it really makes an impressive card.
I am also entering this in the PaperPlay Challenge for this week, too. Well, there you have it for today! Stop back to see a super fun card!
Make sure you check out the rest of the Blast from the Past hop!

This is an awesome card. I love all the distress on it. I think of it as symbolizing the way America became the United States.
What is the direct to paper technique? Using the ink pad to get the ink on the paper?
