How to create a patriotic layout

I started gathering supplies....as you can see this is a very patriotic mix! Also I was inspired by the sketch challenge over at More than Words.... so with out further ado lets get started!

I started building my background using our blocked stencil and a combination of Ferrari, Honolulu and Dazzle Sorbet.

No layout is complete with out a splatter of minx ink :)

Next I needed a few scraps to to a couple of layers to my clusters to I created a bit of coordinating sheets of paper using a bit of Minx Ink and a dry brush.

Pull all the pieces together and add a few quick chevrons through an Art Anthology stencil.......

There you have it a pretty patriotic layout with plenty of sparkle!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
