Hi there blog friends!! I just love it when I have something for you to take a peek of. This week we have new Our Daily Bread Design images that are scheduled for release on July 1 but I’m allowed to show one of them to you!! I had quite the dilemma when I picked this image — my mojo said distress and my heart said don’t distress. See, I’ve had that all week! Mojo won and I’ll do another non-distressed version of this after July 1. This is hands down the best flag image I have out of about four flag background stamps. Why? This one is the easiest to color. I simply took three markers – a blue, a grey and a red and took my time covering the stamp. Since it’s already shaded and distressed I didn’t have to do anything else. I spritzed on some water then stamped on my kraft cardstock. Easy, easy, easy!! It doesn’t always have to be easy but I want to send more cards off to the troops and this one will work out quite nicely.
I’m actually showing parts of two different sets here. The Flag Background is one and the big words belong to another – the two words I selected just seemed to fit perfect along the end of the card. I know I’m covering up the stars and the detail on the left side, but trust me – you’ll see this background again. I love patriotic stamps and have figured out that there are many more occasions to use them than just July 4th. In this day and age, I bet you know what I mean :-)

| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Flag Background, Big Words Paper: My Minds Eye, Bazzill Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink Accessories: Memento Markers, Seam Binding, Pearl Picks, Recollections Pearls, Lace, Silk Flower |

I love this stamp. I’ve always had trouble finding a flag stamp I loved, and this distressed look is perfect!
Awesome card. {{Hugs}}
Beautiful card with a wonderful sentiment. I think any of our military would be thrilled and encouraged to receive this card. Thank you for the inspiration, Becca.
it is too difficult to read this post because of your new background. perhaps you can soften the background or make the type larger and bolder.
This is gorgeous, Becca! I can’t wait to see the full sets!
I’m glad the mojo won out! I love the distressed look of your card. Of course, I’m sure if your heart had won out, I would have loved that one too. :)
absolutely GORGEOUS!
Gorgeous!
Wonderful card Becca. Can not wait to see all of what is coming out.
Beautiful!
LOVE YOUR CARD! Very impressive and meaningful. I would love to do the same thing with the flag background and will check Our Daily Bread Designs in July. Wish it were sooner so I could be working on 4th of July cards, but as you said, in these times….it’s always meaningful! Thanks for sharing.
Once again you amaze! I love the distressed look. Your mojo was right on! The combination of the distressed stamp with all the pretties was beautiful! I’m anxiously awaiting the new release. You’ve given me yet another company to enable my stamp addiction.
This is beautiful Independence day card I love it just the way it is all distressed and all. Wow the flower really pops. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Beautiful card!!! I didn’t even notice that it was a flag background until I read your post! LOL!! Then when I went back and looked at it again I saw the blue with the star in the lower left corner and then the red stripes. What a great background stamp!!!!!!
What a lovely card- you never cease to amaze me.
Beautiful card!
I see the 4th of July coming. I can’t wait!
What a pretty card!
LOVE it! I love patriotic themes and red/white/blue. I’m sure that the troops will be pleased to get it.

“So Beautiful” it is, love the bright flower with it. Dianne
I love this stamp. I am glad your mojo won out. The distressed look works perfect with this patriotic theme. You are going to brighten many soldier’s day when they receive one of your cards. Can’t wait for this line to come out on July 1st.
