Good Evening all .... Tis Sunday already .... that means it is time for a new challenge over at Sunday Stampers. This week Hel's has asked us to create something with Stars &/or Stripes in our work ... wonder where she could have got that theme from ... it's not like she's been away anywhere lol. I have taken the theme literally and decided to use the American Flag as the focal point on this canvas board. So after masking the canvas and painting it ... which seemed to take forever, I then sat about laying out where I wanted to go with it ... I had it in my head that I wanted this canvas to resemble an old recruitment flag .... you know "Uncle Sam" ... anyways I used my fav gentleman from THE Wendy Vecchi stamp set (Seriously Art), the hand is from THE Tim Holtz's (Steampunk Set) and the quote on the journalling ticket is from (Stuff To Say Set). The "America Needs You" is pc generated. For the stars I painted an ATC Art Part with Fresco Paints (Baltic Blue) and then used the stars from the Borders & Bottles Art Part set painting them with Fresco Paints (Snowflake). I then used Distress Ink (Vintage Photo) to give the whole canvas that vintage feel. The flag on the gents hat is cut out from the Seasonal Salvage Sticker pad.
