I started with GP white cs as the base. This is a 5x7 card. I layered with red bazzill cs and blue jean dp from paper pizazz, cut three 2" pieces. I then cut a 2" strip of navy bazzill cs and a strip of white GP cs, ran it through the CB Swiss Dot folder. I then tied a piece of hemp around the strips. The image was given to me by Flowergal36 which you can check out her gallery at flowergal36's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I colored the image with odorless mineral spirits, primascolor pencils and blending stumps. I then sponged around with Night Quite Navy. I layered with the same red bazzill, blue bazzill cs. The image is raised with 3D squares. I then stamped with red stazon the sentiment onto GP white cs, add a self stick star for the center, used my small circle punch and a medium circle punch on the blue bazzill cs. It's also raised with a 3D dot. I cut off the Levi red tag of an old pair of Levis and stuck it by the pocket with tacky tape. Thanks for the inspiration.
It's 12:45am on a work night for me, but I wanted to upload this tonight. I needed to make this for my boss' birthday tomorrow and he's always in Levis.
Things I changed: Image, added strip underneath and colors
