Patriotic T-Shirt by Wendy Kerr

Items Needed:
White Fabric Paint
Sponge Brush
Masking Tape
Crafter's Inkpads (I used the option plates from a "Fresco" Crafter's Pad, Blue and Red)
Flag and Star Stamps by Stamps Galore

Getting Started:
Put a line of masking tape from under one sleeve to the other, as straight as possible.
Place another piece of masking tape, also in a line, around 3 inches above your 1st one.
Make sure there is enough room in-between the tape pieces to stamp your flag.
Next, take a sponge brush and tap white paint in-between your masking take pieces. Be sure to over paint a little onto your masking tape, too.
Next, peel off your tape. *The masking tape gives you a great STRAIGHT painted edge.
Once your paint is dry, it's ready to stamp!
Use blue and red option plates from your Crafter's Inkpad to directly ink your stamp.
Stamp your inked stamp onto your T-shirt. Be sure to Heat set with your heat gun. I stamped three flags, one in the middle then one centered onto either side.
Next ink and stamp your stars. Be sure to heat set each spot that you stamp.
For extra pizzazz, I splattered paint to the shirt once it was dry. To do this, just put some paint onto your brush. While holding it, "flick" your wrist over your shirt.
Let dry and you are done!
To Wash: use COLD water.
