Kittie selected Caterina aka Caterinafmig as this week's FS - fun choice, Kittie and congrats, Caterina.
A friend asked me to make a congrats card for a friend of his who has been promoted to Colonel in the Air Force. I also wanted to play with this new Air Force Proud stamp from DRS Designs.
This fun Brayden Loves Blue card by Caterina inspired me:
I kept her layers, embossing of the main sub and blue, but turned her sketch and changed up the theme, the images, and the colors (a bit).
You can't see it in the picture, but this thing shines from a mile away. I am going to go see if hubby has any fun vintage milary stuff to tuck in for my friend.
If you aren't already planning to play in this week's FS challenge, you definately need to as you will find all kinds of inspiration.

Nancy, this is a great case of Caterina's card. This is such a striking card with the blue and silver. What a great image. Your friend will be so pleased.

I love how you kept the shape, and added the fleur-de-lis rod in place of the fiber. Beautiful case!!

Wow, Nancy, this is fabulous! I love the vibrant blue and it's perfect with the silver! Isn't it nice to be able to make a personalized card for someone--you don't get that from Hallmark!
