Kiwi Lane and Tim Holtz Patriotic Card with Queen & Co bling


I am so excited today!  I finally get to tell everyone!  I have been chosen to be a part of the Kiwi Lane Designs Fall 2014 Design Team!!  Wooo Hooo!  I am so thrilled to be a part of the Kiwi Lane blog team!
Therefore, today's project uses Kiwi Lane templates:  Playtime 6 and Adventure 1 (star).  I also played a great deal with the background.  I started with the wavy corrugated navy paper.  It was a little too dull and plain. I knew I was using the Tim Holtz Seasons Kraft Resist image and wanted to grunge it up.  I started with Walnut Stain sprayed over the corrugated background.  Then I added a red ink spray I had mixed up using some Smooches and Ranger spray inks.  Finally,  I sprayed a top coat of vanilla Smooch Spritz.  This ended up tying in beautifully with the Queen & Co star bling. 


I was trying to mimic the shield in the Tim Holtz image. I cut the playtime template from the same kraft paper as the card base.  I traced another shield on navy card stock and cut it about a quarter inch in to get the "layer".  I cut the stripes from the same red shimmer paper as the star (adventure 1).  I added some adhesive and lined them up on a slick release sheet.


Then I used the template to cut the bottoms of my "stripes".


Here's a good view of all the spritzing I did.


All edges are chalked with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Blue Moon.

Don't forget about my blog hop this Friday!


Here's the blog candy for the hop:


Here's a link to a super cute card that I made with the above paper.
