Hi! this card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Designer Paper.
I got all excited, even gave a big "YIPEE!" (I scared Speedy the Cat...He flew out of here like I had rolled over his tail with my office chair!) Then, I got a rude awakening....
It was really to MAKE your own designer paper by stamping images from ONE stamp set for the entire card.... No special shapes unless it was for the sentiment ONLY. Ribbon and brads were the embellishments. (I USED ribbon...that is NOT cording! I CUT THE EDGE OFF A Christmas ribbon! I'm crazy, I know!) The stars are brads! The focal image was allowed to be cut out.
This set is from The Greeting Farm. I stamped the Antique Red and the Tan panels with the flag image in Chocolate Chip. The soldier was stamped in Noir Black Palette Ink and colored with Copic Markers.
The sentiment was stamped onto SHINY silver paper and punched out to look like a set of dog tags.

Love this card...we watched a movie the other night called "Taking Chance". It was a very sobering but awesome movie of what they do to the fatalaties of our Heroes once they reach Dover AF Base until they reach there loved ones here in the states. I just am so in awe of our soldiers and am happy people remember them!!!
