Happy Memorial Day!
This week at Red Rubber Designs the theme is Red, White and Blue. This is "America I Love". I love this image, perfect for Memorial Day or 4th of July, which will be here before we know it.
The image was colored with Copic markers, then aged with Cognac and Burnt Umber inks around the edges.
I create a flag to match the sails with 2 embossing folders, stars and stripes. I went over the blue stars with embossing ink to give more definition. I used R46 Copic marker to go over the embossed stripes to create the red and white stripe. I stitched with white thread around the perimeter and down the seam between the stars and stripes. I used a stipple brush and palette inks to knock down the white a bit.
Supplies--
Stamp Set: America I Love
Copic Colors: R46, R59, E00, E09, E11, E13, E21, E33, E35, E37, YG91, YG93, YG95, 9YG7, B91, B95, B99, W1, W3
