Red White Blue Just for You

Hello and Happy Thursday!

Today I'm here to share my July patriotism challenge project. 

I decided to steer clear of a flag creation and just go with 

Red, White and Blue

Gift tags always come in handy so I went with red, white and blues 

to come up with this pretty tag.

This would also be great added to a card, don't you think?

You can find this versatile luggage tag along with the feather stencil/mask you see 

on the background in the Linnie Blooms Shop.

ALSO...

While I have you here today I just want to take a quick moment to 

say that today is my last post as DT member for Linnie Blooms.

If you know me at all you know that cards are my comfort zone and I love creating them.

Linnie Blooms helped forced me to step out of my zone and get more involved with mixed medias.  I've had a fabulous time learning and growing in that area of my creative life. 

Here are a few of my favorite creations using Linnie Blooms products. 

I have had a fantastic time working with Linda and her marvelous products.

Thank you so much for allowing me to part of your wonderful design team.

'til next time...

Luggage tag table decoration

Each month the Design Team is given a challenge. This month is patriotism Incorporate your country's colors in your design. My grandfather was a WWII Vet, so the american flag means a lot to me! Using the Luggage Tag, Feather Stencil and Mask, and the Flutter Stencil and Mask.   I made a cute little table decoration for all our Holiday celebrations!

I just wrapped the Luggage tag around an old bottle and put some flowers in it! Just perfect for the dining room table or anywhere else! I think it would be a super sweet hostess gift too! 

Hope you enjoyed my take on the challenge!

See you all soon,

Vintage 4th of July Tag~July Challenge:Patriotism

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and I have a super fun project to share with all of you for Linnie Bloom's July challenge~Patriotism. I don't know about all of you but I LOVE the 4th of July. My hubby's birthday is July 3rd so it's a weekend of celebrations in our family. 

For this challenge I created a vintage inspired tag using one of the FAB LB Canvas Flower pieces...

I also have a video that not only shows you the tag up close but I show you how I altered the flower and turned it into a Patriotic flower...

I wanted to mimic the stripes in the American Flag so I used a stencil from TCW and some red glimmer spray on the flower...

 Sorry...I didn't realize the photo was turned until it was too late...but you get the idea right?? : )

After drying the flower with my heat tool, I used one of my Distress Markers in Chipped Sapphire and inked around the edges....

I dried this thoroughly with my heat tool and then spritzed it lightly with some water. I wanted to crinkle the flower so it would have some added dimension and texture, so I once again used my heat tool and my tweezers and dried it in the crumpled shape...

I really like how this turned out...

This was such a fun tag to create and I love how the LB Canvas Flower really stands out and is the star of the tag. I'll be using this for sure amongst my 4th of July decorations for this years celebration. 

Be sure to stop by the Linnie Blooms store and pick up some of the amazing mixed stitch/canvas pieces for yourself. 

Thanks for stopping by the Linnie Blooms Blog today.

Happy Crafting & Happy 4th of July : )
