Land that we love

Good morning!

I had the opportunity again to make a card for troops and this is going to a Marine son of a Design Team friend.  We were instructed to NOT put anything glittery on it, as the glitter can shed off onto the soldiers clothes.... even one speck of glitter can make them "visible" to enemies by the sun or other lights reflecting off the glitter.  Wow, I hadn't thought of that before! 

So, I made sure to put nothing glittery on this one.

Also, I tried to keep it as flat as possible, so I didn't use any brads, buttons or ribbon. Wow. that was hard!  But tucked away in a little plastic basket drawer on my shelf, I managed to find this little 2x2 Provocraft Cuttlebug die with snowflakes on it and tucked inbetween the snowflakes were these little stars in nesting sizes... how perfect!  I cut them in red, blue and cream and layered them to make star embellishments.  I used the SU 2-way liquid glue pen to hold the stars together.

SUPPLIES:

• IMAGES: Patriotic Eagle at Doodle Pantry, and Let Freedom Ring flag by Doodle Pantry but available at CDS
• CS/PAPER: 90 lb. Canson watercolor paper, CDS deep sea, red, CDS  toasted almond, Best occasions Walmart Dp pack (star paper)
• INK: printer, caramel inkpad, real red marker, marina mist marker, Tombow markers 947, 899, 942, 528, 946, 991
• ACCENTS/TOOLS: waterbrush, sponge, spellbinders labels 4 and ovals, clear lacquer, cuttlebug mini snowflake/star die, sewing machine
• COLORING:

Thanks again for stopping in this week.... I know I have posted more than I have been, so I do thank you for taking time to visit and I hope you have been inspired by something you see here.
