Happy July! Today in honor of the 4th the TAC Dream Team is focusing on this stamp set - America I Love. It is a level A Hostess set - which you can earn for FREE! Ask me for details!
I started by stamping with Memento ink onto our Copic Caboodle White cardstock. Then I grabbed my copic colors I wanted to use - keeping in mind I was going to use Scarlet and Navy cardstocks.
*** Copic Combos ***
Skin: E000, E00, E13
Hair: YR21, YR24
Rocks, Boat and Pants: E51, E55, W1
Trees and ground: G21, W3, G28
Reds: R24, R27, R29, W7
Water: BG72, BG75, White Signo Pen
White shirt and Sail: E51 and W1
Navy Sail: B39 and W7
Lady Liberty: W3 and G21
I know it is alot of colors - but it really is not hard! I trimmed the image out then distressed the edges with my scissors (careful not to tear it!) I then layered to Navy.
I stamped a Labels 4 shape with my background stamps with Desert Sand and Burnt Umber ink. The I sponged and inked the edges til it was as dark as I wanted. Next I layered it all to the card with a little silver Organza ribbon.

WOW! Heather! I love the nestie collage background piece. It really makes the card interesting to look at. Thank you for sharing your Copic colors, it's interesting how we color the same image with the same markers and still have such different results. I like how you use your W's to get more depth. Great card.
