Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - Let Freedom Ring

Happy Friday!! I hope you had a great week!! Sorry I haven't had a chance to post this week...summer is always so busy for me. And if someone can tell me where June went, I would appreciate it :)

Friday means a new Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces!! Our theme this week is in honor of Independence Day in America. So we want to see your projects that Let Freedom Ring :)

The base of the tag is manilla cardstock die cut with the Tim Holtz Tag & Bookplate die. A background stamp from Stampabilities with the lyrics to America the Beautiful was stamped in TH Antique Linen Distress Ink. The rays stamp from TH's Psychedelic Grunge set was stamped with Faded Jeans and Fired Brick Distress Inks. The stars are from the same set, stamped with the same two Distress Inks. The stars and rays were outlined with a Sakura White Gelly Roll pen. The sentiments "Home of the Free," "Because of the Brave" and "God Bless America" are from K Andrew Designs Freedom Isn't Free stamp set stamped with Versafine Onyx ink. The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is from my sweet friend and our challenge hostess Karen of Little Scrap Pieces.

The stars were punched out and then stamped with the stripes stamp from Wendy Vecchi's It's More Flower Art set in Faded Jeans and Fired Brick. The edges of the tag were inked with Walnut Distress Ink.

To all my US friends, I want to wish you a very safe and happy Memorial Day!! I also want to thank all of the servicemen and women, past and present, who dedicate their lives to keep America the home of the free, land of the brave :)

In honor of those brave men and women, I have a quick card to share with you today. The base is a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Square. The next layer is a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Square cut in DCWV Tradewinds cardstock. The circle is a Spellbinders Picot Edge die cut in DCWV Immortal Lovestack paper and adorned with pearls.

The stars are from a small punch and I ran them through the Xyron and added fine crystal glitter.

The tag is a Spellbinders Fancy Tag One, embossed with the Cuttlebug stars embossing folder and inked with Faded Jeans Distress Ink to bring out the texture of the stars. The quote is from K Andrew Designs Freedom Isn't Free stamp set:
