Today's Blogger's Challenge was to create a card for Labor Day or a Red, White and Blue item.
Labor Day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
This led me to think about the American Workforce...and where most Americans are from. Thus the creation of my Red, White and Blue Ellis Island card.
The Ellis Island Stamp (The Stampsmith) was stamped in blue ink and colored with chalks. That is layered on a black piece of Pearly Gel, one of the Bonus Techniques from the upcoming Technique Junkie Newsletter. This piece is layered over a stamped star Background (Stampin' Up! Jumbo Wheel). I added some crystal stars and the "Welcome Home" words (Club Scrap) to finish the card off.
I hope you enjoy the labor day weekend and holiday.
