Over at the Everything Wendy Vecchi Group, the current Making Art! Challenge is red, white and blue. Pretty original given that the American 4th of July is this weekend. Did I mention that I'm the one who thinks up these challenges? lol....
Seriously, I love patriotic themes. I think we tend to forget about what a great country we live in, and the choices and freedoms that we have.
So, I attempted with this tag to combine Studio 490 and some Stampin' Up stamps. Not sure if I succeeded, it's fairly simple, but, as some of you close to me know, I have layer issues. (I find it difficult to add layers and layers). If anyone knows of a therapist that can help, let me know.
I think I've finally accepted the fact that it's just how I create, and if it looks good to me, what does the rest matter? Right? (ok, I'm looking for affirmation here people).
Here we go:
The stars and the stripes are Studio 490 (wow, that wording worked out well, didn't even think of that prior), I white embossed both for a resist effect. Faded Jeans and Barn Door are the colors of ink, the red buckle is 7 Gypsies, Statue of Liberty, Eagle and sentiment are Stampin' Up, and I added a Maya Road danglie, 'cause it seemed a little bare. :)
Any HOO, enjoy your weekend, be safe, and let's remember.....
FREEDOM really isn't FREE.
20 watcha thinkin'?:
Very nice! I think the layer is fine!
I love your stars and stripes. I am very patriotic too, though for a different red white and blue country!! Have a great weekend - I am off to a stamp show and will be SHOPPING!! lol.
Love your tag. Layering is hard to do. If you find a therapist let me know!
Terrific patriotic tag Lori. Layering????? never heard of it........lol Annette x
Fab fab fab... Happy 4th July hun... loving your stars & stripes x
Layers are overrated. LOL Great tag! Have a fabulous weekend!
Keep doing what you are doing. If you try to please everyone but yourself, you loose your signature look. I think your look is "happy" and that is a good look to have.
Have a Happy 4th!
awesome tag! Have a great weekend! I bought the Wendy pocket watch art parts for my next project!
Totally stinkin' cute Lori! Love the stars on here!
Utterly gob smacking gorgeous xx
Fabulous tag Lori! Happy July 4th! x
Gorgeous tag for a wonderful holiday!
May you find yourself surrounded by friends and family and fireworks galore!
Great tag Lori! I love how you did the stars.
As someone who often can't stop layering, I think that I'm the one in need of a therapist....and I may have found one....the USPS.
When I see how much more it costs to mail a heavily layered item, it's shock therapy.
You, my friend, are totally healthy. LOL!
What a wonderful patriotic tag and I think you have done the layering beautifully! Your tag touched my heart and gave me a warm fuzzy feeling so you are spot on! Diann
Well Lori me lovely it looks good to me... in fact it's gorgeous so I would leave that therapist in the cupboard where she belongs and just keep doing what you do so beautifully :D
hugs

It's a great tag Lori! The layering is just fine! Have a wonderful 4th!!
I think you did a great job on the tag....and I agree, if it looks good to me, it's a go! Happy 4th GF
Fun tag Lori, So are you really the one who thinks up the challenges? how about a heads up for future ones? LOL.
Have a wonderful 4th!
hugs Lynn
Very cool! I know a good therapist, but you would have to come here. And bring your craft supplies. She may want to do some physical therapy.
