Star Spangled Banner

Because Monday was Memorial Day I wanted to create something to honor the holiday. I was busy creating my fun houses and put the idea on hold.  Then I saw Tim's June tag for 2016 and he mixed up a few fun techniques which had me thinking of what to do.

The techniques involved cutting out a die image and showing a plaid pattern through the die.   I was trying to think of which die I had that would  work well with this technique and I remembered Zoe's fabulous take on Tim's tag from a previous month. 

I dug in my stamps to find this Impression Obsession stamp that is the words to the star spangled banner. It was perfect for the Tissue stamping and I love the collage medium with the tint. Perfectly aged with just a few swipes of the medium. 

I actually tried my tag without the outlines and with the outlines. I loved both effects.  I also tried using the stencils in the background on canvas and on tissue paper which was then glued wit the same medium.

The tissue paper gave it a more aged look but the canvas was a cool effect too.
