Welcome back to the Imagine blog. Today, I will show you how to use your VersaColor ink cubes to make a fun and creative background to celebrate America's birthday.

Skill Level: Beginner
Time: 30 Minutes Approx.

Directions:

Step 1
Take a sheet of white cardstock cut it to 4x5 (set aside)

Step 2a
Take your VersaColor ink cube in Neptune and blot the color onto the stamp.
I applied the blue to the kids, grass border and bit of the flag.

Step 2b
Next, I blotted on some Memento Luxe in Love Letter on the flag.
This will give you the two-tone color stamping.

Step 3
Stamp your image on the white cardstock

Step 4
Next, create a mat for the piece of white cardstock by taking a piece of navy cardstock and cutting it to 4.25 x 5.25 inches. This will leave a 0.25-inch navy border around the white cardstock.

Finish your card with a sentiment.
