Thank you for your service

Hi!

(**Woohoo I am thrilled to share this card made Top Three at The Kraft Journal 5/29/12)

Hope your Monday is off to a great start!

With Memorial Day Coming up, I have a patriotic card to share today! I am an Army Wife, so Memorial Day has a special meaning to me. Now that we live close to Washington D.C., it is wonderful to be able to go all the memorials for the different Wars as well as Arlington National Cemetery and reflect and show respect to those have who have served and sacrificed.  

Here is my card:

I started with a Kraft card base and added my pieced patterned papers from my stash.  Some lace trim was added.  A postal tag was hand-cut and stamped with a postal Image from IBS Vintage Postcards and some stars from an old Stampin' UP! set called stars and swirls. Another tag was created to tie with the seam binding for a sentiment Thanks for your service by My Pink Stamper. My focal image was stamped on kraft cardstock in Vintage Sepia ink and mounted on cream cardstock trimmed with pinking shears.

For a finishing touch, some buttons and a red glittered star was added. 

My inspiration for this card comes from The Kraft Journal - Remembering You and

Moxie Fab World - Gingham Challenge

I thank you for stopping by! Hope you have a fantastic week!
