Are You Patriotic?

Patriotic Mail Art

(cut and paste postcard using Hidden Vintage Studios kit "The Patriots")

For the first time in my life I´ve created a lot of patriotic artwork - and I must say this has been much easier with kits that are celebrating a different nation ... I don´t think I´d had any fun playing with a black, red, and golden kit as German nationalism still seems to be not political correct - at least in my eyes. In fact I don´t like nationalism for any country. Nevertheless, I´ve had fun with this challenge of creating artwork with not only one but three patriotic kits which are new at Deviant Scrap today: The Patriots by Hidden Vintage Studios, Red White and Blue by Finecrafted Designs, and Day of Independence by Rucola Designs.
As always, the Hidden Vintage Studios kit comes with png as well as jpg files, so you´re able to make some cut and paste art with the collage sheets like the mail art postcard on top - I`ve used a lot of cancelled postage stamps from my collection here as well as a few rubber stamps.
Many thanks to Evelyn and Ildi for giving us their kits to play with them!
