\"\"<\/a>For the Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC793) today, we have 2 blues & a red. Perfect colors for a Patriotic card!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m using a new soldiers silhouette image. I know these will look great as a dark silhouette, but I wanted to see how they’d look if I used another (inked) image to ink them. It’s an old technique called “stamp kissing<\/a><\/span>“. I used the stars & stripes border to ink the silhouettes (I put them in my Misti so I could do it more than once). I like how they turned out..as if they’re draped in the stars & stripes. I separated the greeting, above & below, & used the same inks to stamp them. The piece down the side is a piece of sticky back paper w\/ red, white & blue narrow strips stuck to it. The lower section has stars stamped w\/ white. Just to add a little something extra, I also punched some stars & added them to the soldiers & also a couple on the bg.<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the inside I stamped the stars & stripe border onto a sort of triangular piece & added it down the left side.<\/span>
