I created a fun 4th of July card with some supplies that I have not used in a while. To begin, I took a piece of White Mixed Media Heavystock and sprayed it with Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain to make the paper look aged and dried it with a Ranger Heat tool. Then I cut the 4’s from the paper using the Sizzix Countdown Thinlits. I adhered them to the card base using Distress Collage Medium.

I added another layer of Distress Collage Medium over the entire panel, using my finger to smooth out any brush lines and pools of medium and let it dry. Once it was dry I colored over the panel with DIstress Crayons in Faded Jeans, Picket Fence and Fired Brick and dampened my finger on a baby wipe and moved the crayon around.

I added some spatter to the background using Black Soot and Picket Fence Distress Paints using a Splatter Brush and let them dry. I stamped the bullseye in Embossing Ink and embossed it with Fired Brick Distress Embossing Glaze, then cut it out. I stamped the man from the Inquisitive set in Faded Jeans Distress Archival Ink and cut him out. I stamped the sentiment from the Crazy Talk set and added to the card. To add a final touch, I cut stars from gold Metallic cardstock using the Sizzix Swirling stars die
