Papercraft Star Challenge 3

This week over at Papercraft Star the designers were asked to create something using the following sketch

Since I was working on this card July 4th weekend why not keep with the spirit of the holiday (hope you all had a wonderful safe and happy holiday). I decided to make another 4th of July card.





To make the card base I used Vellum and Alcohol Inks. I used Sail Boat Blue and Watermelon. To make it just drop a few drops of one color and move the paper around so it spreads. Then add a few drops of the other color again moving the paper so the drops spread. Continue doing this to get the desired effect that you are looking for.

Supplies used:
Vellum
Cardstock:
White, Blue, Red (any brand will work, just used scraps for this card)
