You Don't Know Jack

Today I'm sharing  a little bunting I made using the Union Jack rubber stamp from Artistic Outpost's London Underground collection.This is another one of those ideas that has been rattling around in my mind, waiting to get made.

To create the flags, I applied Ranger's Adirondack Paint Dabbers in Red Pepper and Denim directly to the stamp. After spritzing it lightly with water, I stamped the image onto muslin and let dry.

When I say, 'let dry' what I really mean is, 'I blasted it with my heat gun until it was dry and then burned it a little here and there to give it character.' I'm so impatient! :-) After the flags were dry, I stitched them to burlap panels. They were then strung together using vintage seam binding.

I love my little banner so much! The Union Jack stamp has to be one of the best rubber stamps - ever. It is the perfect grungy little flag stamp.
