It Takes Courage To Serve

Here is a card I made to send to one of our Heroes to express some of my thanks.


I used the ODBD stamp sets "Not Forgotten" and "Old Flag Background".  For the sentiment, I just inked up one line of the block sentiment.
I inked up the flag background stamp before stamping and then sponged some blue ink onto the soldier image after stamping it with the cocoa ink.
The sketch is Your Next Stamp:

  7. Marsha: What a great card! I love your image, the patriotic theme, and the burlap gives it all just the right touch of masculine texture. It came together beautifully, and I'm SO grateful that you shared it in our challenge this week. I hope to see you again; just as soon as you create another lovely card. I am so blessed to have you share all your sweet creations.

    Have I asked you before if you are in the United States? If you don't mind....would you stop by my blog and leave me a message so I know if you are in the U.S. Here's my personal blog address:
