Good Morning, America. How Are You?

“The true meaning of America, you ask? It's in a Texas rodeo, in a policeman's badge, in the sound of laughing children, in a political rally, in a newspaper... In all these things, and many more, you'll find America. In all these things, you'll find freedom. And freedom is what America means to the world. And to me.”

My turn on the Third Coast Design Team blog.

1. Stamp the image on a piece of scrap cardstock.
2. Color with Derwent Inktense Watersoluable Ink Pencils.
3. Cut out image and layer onto a flag image cut from a magazine or travel brochure. My flag is the "Star Spangled Banner" in the American History Museum in Washington, DC, cut from the museum brochure.
4. I took a photo with my iPhone and edited it with various photo apps. The letters are added with the Ransom App.
5. After uploading to my laptop, I edited it with Photoshop Elements, using various "paint brushes" to add distressed elements to the edges as well as white star shapes.
