Red Rubber Designs: Patriotic

This weeks theme at Red Rubber Designs is "Patriotic", so I chose the new release "United We Stand".  This is a great set and I had Memorial Day in mind when making this card.

It is a pretty simple card.  The stars are dry embossed on the Red, Kraft and Navy cardstock.  Then I brushed an embossing pad over the cardstock to accent the embossing.  If you have an embossing ink pad with sparkle in it that would be a great look too.
The image was stamped with Burnt Umber Palette ink.  I used a stipple brush and Raw Sienna and Cognac ink to give a bit of a vintage or old photograph look.  I stamped the sentiment on some Kraft cardstock and cut the ends like a banner with my Kai 4" scissors.  Then, stippled the banner with the 3 inks and attached it with pop dots of varying thicknesses.
