Stars and Stripes

 Stars and Stripes

This week for #Altenewchallengelive Tuesday challenge with Jen Rzasa is Stars and Stripes.  Well, I had to stretch my imagination a bit for this challenge.  Jen did say we could use stars, and stripes or one or the other.  So I mainly went with stripes.

My first two tags have masked out areas with Altenew masking paper, then colored in with blending brushes, and inks.  Before removing the masking paper I placed a stencil (big flower) down then added ink through the stencil.  Added a few enamel dots, die cut words with shadows, stickles glitter, ribbon and done.  The pink tag again used masking paper, enamel dots (my favorite embellishment), but this time I stamped images in the stripes.

For my next two tags I again used Altenew masking paper.  This masking paper works very well...it doesn't rip the paper at all.  Used stamps, stickle paints, enamel dots, and stamps.  These stamps are old ... in fact, I don't even think the companies are still around.

The last two tags need something, something more ... I just don't know what, yet. 

Just want to mention that on the horizontal stripes tag ..... the ribbon is a pink ribbon.  I guess when I scanned it ... my scanner wanted it to be silver, but it is actually a light pink ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon.
