I got this absolutely, wonderful had to have it stack of K & Company paper from Jo Ann's after my old co worker called me and told me that they got a whole power panel of this Americana line in! The stack is absolutely gorgeous! When I get a 12x12 pad of papers, because I am a card maker, I typically cut the paper down to 6x6 squares, makes it easier to store. When I got to this piece, I couldn't bear to cut it down like that, it would have ruined the paper...so I made a banner with it instead. This pretty, will be hung up on my wall...once I take down my Christmas stuff Hehe
Okay, so I cut down around the saying, added a little ink for a more distressed look, put it onto black chipboard, then layered again onto an off white textured sheet of DCWV paper that I also distressed with an ink pad. Added the stitching, all by hand to the edges of the black as well as the America lettering. Added some 3D stickers (also in the Americana line) and added clear rhinestones to the stars and around the corners for some much needed bling!
Take a look at the close up pictures for more detail
Thanks for looking!
Happy Stampin! God Bless!
