Hi crafty friends, it's time for another challenge over one the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us in last week's Transport It Challenge and we hope you will join us this week too as we celebrate with Stars and Stripes...
This week I created a patriotic card using the Tim Holtz Sizzix United States Thinlit die cut from all different patterns of Stars and Stripes from the Correspondence Paper Stash. To make the background for my map, I cut a piece of Mixed Media Heavystock and inked it by putting Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink onto my craft sheet and spritzing it with water. Then built up layers and dried it with a heat tool. When it was dry, I added some stars with the Layering Stars shifter stencil with some gold ink and gave the panel some stitching around the outside.

I placed all the states down with Matte Medium, then I cut the die out again with Metallic Kraft Stock and placed it over the already glued down states. I love the effect that the gold gives. To finish the card, I added a Clippings sticker and the USA cut from the Americana Side Order (which I cut and stacked 3 times). When it was all done, I glued the panel onto some different color papers from the Classic Paper Stash that I sanded with a sanding block.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

What a great idea to use the US thinlit - I love how you've made all the states! Reminds me of a well-loved quilt. Your background ink layers add so much as well - love the little stars! Have a great week - xx Lynn
