My Sheri Crafts Independance Day Challenge

The challenge over at My Sheri Crafts this week is Independence Day.

I decided to use the other stamp from my bargain $2 stamp set, which is the Lady Liberty part of the stamp set and ventured out to use colors other than Red, White and Blue.

I think it is still Patriotic.

 

I also tried a “new to me” technique of stamping the image on another piece of paper and then cut out the part I wanted to be that color and layered them on to the original stamped image. 

So in these examples, I cut out the teal colored paper and glued it to the stamped image on the white paper. I then colored the rest of the stamp with my markers.

In a couple I also added a Sentiment, Let Freedom Ring, from Prickly Pear

Inside I stamped a simple Happy 4^th of July using a wood mounted stamp from Stampendous

Have a great day!!
