Borderline Buddies

Welcome to Borderline Buddies Day!

 

It's Wednesday....and you know what that means....Borderline Buddies Day!

 

It was Leanna's week to pick the challenge...and her pick was creating something using a background stamp...so being in the USA we are celebrating our independence on the 4th of July, I thought I would incorporate the two....and using my favorite background stamp....Woodgrain.

 

Here's what I came up with:

 

 

I used the Woodgrain background stamp. I first inked the upper corner with Night of Navy Ink and then filled in the red swipping the ink pad right across the stamp using Real Red.  I don't have a current alphabet stamp set, so I pulled out a retired one...not my favorite choice, but that's all I had to work with.....so that's what was used. 

 

The stars were punched out on the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper....the Glimmer paper has been redesigned...and it's a bit thiner and much easier to punch out.  The silver and gold has also been redesigned.  I used the Star punch from the Punch Pack which includes a set of three punches. 

 

I was going to initially raise them up with the Stampin' Dimensionals, but decided to just adhere them with Tombow glue. 

 

For the letters, I used the Alphabet stamp set using Night of Navy ink and punched out using a retired square punch and also the Night of Navy CS was punched with the postage punch.

 

Now...let's head on over to Leanna's blog to see what she has created ......
