Daisy Pledge of Allegiance

I went lighter on the blue with this card because I wanted to showcase the lovely blue Primas from the Daisy Dreams Lagoon collection. Thankfully, each Prima flower set also comes with some creamy white flowers, so there is lots of versatility there.

I used the flag stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs' God Bless America set and the I Pledge Allegiance single stamp.

I'm really happy with the way this flag turned out. I stamped it in Versafine Onyx Black ink on plain white cs. Then I colored the blue area with an SU Bashful Blue marker. I colored the red stripes with an SU Ruby Red marker. I touched up the flag's black lines with my Special Black Copic marker since I didn't get a strong impression and didn't want to waste the image. With a light hand I was able to improve things without making it look overdone.

I used Brocade Blue cs because it matched so well with the 2 coats of Bashful Blue ink I had applied.

The red gingham ribbon reminds me of picnics (checked table cloths) and this card has that 4th of July feel about it. And what do we usually do on the 4th? Picnic!

Thanks for looking! Hope you have a great weekend! Pray for our nation!
