HONOR

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NAVY VETERANS AND COME FROM MILITARY FAMILIES...I HAVE TWO SON THAT ARE ACTIVE DUTY AND ONE THAT IS A MARINE CORPS VET..  I SUPPOSE YOU COULD SAY MILITARY PRIDE RUNS DEEP IN OUR FAMILIES.


So in HONOR of all that have served and continue to serve in the armed forces and protect our freedom...We thank you...and for my sons...I made this for you.

I made this card for the challenge over at fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com for their "Memorial Day" theme and for littlescrappieces.blogspot.com for their "Red" theme.


Pride and Honor

For this card I used the following cartridges and measurements.  George and Basic Shapes-star (pg115), cut at 1 3/4 inches and Plantin SchoolBook-letters, cut at 1 inch.

The red rectangle was cut at 4 3/4" x 6 1/2" and the white rectangle was cut at
2 1/4" x 4 3/4".

I wanted to keep this card clean and let it speak for itself...I didnt feel that it needed any inking, other then the edges to conceal the white from the cuts.  The only other thing I did, was to make the fringe along the bottom with gold metallic paper.

I hope you like it and I thank you for looking.  Kathie

    Kathie - this card is awesome. As you say very "clean" but my its very effective. I think the fringe at the bottom really finsihes it off.
