America My Hero

Hey there my friends!  Today I wanted to share a card that I made using one of the brand new digital stamp sets from Polka Dot Orchard.  The set is called America My Hero and has 36 digital images.  You read that right, 36!!!  Seriously, this set is jam packed.  Perfect for 4th of July or military.  Or whatever you want!

I wanted to show that you don't have to spend a ton of time coloring to make a great looking card!  The only coloring I did was sponging along the edges.

The card is a standard A2 size made out of 110lb Neenah Solar white.  Then I cut a black panel about and 1/8" smaller on all the sides.  I printed the stars digital stamp from the America My Hero set three different times.  Once on red, once on white and once on navy.  Then I cut each piece down to 4" x 1 1/2".  I sponged around the red and blue rectangles with Unicorn White pigment ink.  The white rectangle I sponged with Faded Jeans Distress Oxide ink.  I then used Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue to adhere them to the black panel.

I combined two images together for the sentiment.  I used the Wendell Willkie quote with the sparkler image put behind it.  I faded the sparkler image out so it would be easier to read the quote.  I printed it out onto 80lb Neenah Solar white cardstock.  I then it cut it out with a stitched rectangle die from My Favorite Things.  I sponged around the edges with red ink that matched my cardstock.  Next I added foam tape to the back and added it to the card panel.

For the final step I added Icicle stickles to the "sparks" on the sparkler.  I tried to get a good picture of the sparkle but it just didn't work out.  There you have it!  I do hope you will check out the America My Hero digital stamp set from Polka Dot Orchard.  You can find all of the supplies listed below with a direct link to this stamp set!
