This Sunday, November 11, is Veterans Day. This is a day when citizens of the United States express gratitude to all the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces. I made this card to honor those who have served our country.
I will enter this card in Mo's Challenge #159 - Anything Goes.
This is how I made the card;
(1.) I started with a blank kraft card that measures 5" by 7".
(2.) I removed a map of the Middle East from an old World Atlas and stitched it to the kraft card.
(3.) I used the digital image "Support The Troops" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I colored the image with Copic Sketch Markers and cut it out.
(4.) I found the "United States Army Retired" decal from a thrift shop. I applied the decal to the center of the map.
(5.) I used foam squares to attach the colored digital image to the lower left corner of the card.
(6.) I embellished the card with a United States flag sticker and three small stars in the lower right corner.

I spent the morning making a batch of Veterans Day cards to donate to my local Senior Citizens Center. I don't usually mass produce my cards, but I hope the veterans will enjoy these cards on Friday.
This week the theme of Mo's Digital Challenge is "Give Thanks". The card must be a Thanksgiving card or thank-you card.
This is how I made the card;
(1.) I started with a pre-made blank card that measures 5" by 7".
(2.) I stamped the image of the soldiers on the bottom of the card with black ink. This cling stamp is "Band Of Brothers" from Stampers Best.
(3.) I framed the digital image with yellow, red and royal blue Bazzill cardstock.
(4.) I used an image from the Mo's digital stamp set "Support the Troops!" I colored the image with Copic sketch markers.
(5.) I embellished the card with a piece of patriotic "USA" ribbon.
On the inside of the card, I inserted a piece of parchment paper with the following sentiment;
"Freedom is not Free.
Thank you for your service.
Veterans Day
11-11-11"
I am so thankful for our men and women serving out country in the Armed Forces. If you make handmade greeting cards, please consider making some cards for Operation Write Home. This is a great way to let our soldiers know that we appreciate them.

Next Friday, November 11, 2011, is Veterans Day. It is a day to remember all the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
I made this Veterans Day card for Mo's Digital Challenge #106 - "Any Holiday or Celebration".
This is how I made the card;
(1.) I used a pre-made kraft card that measures 4" by 5 1/2".
(2.) The black dotted background is "Black Cow" cardstock from Bazzill.
(3.) I framed the image with a piece of black Bazzill paper and red corrugated cardboard.
(4.) I chose the image "Support the Troops!" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I colored the image with Copic Sketch markers.
(5.) I embellished the card with USA ribbon.
This patriotic image is wonderful for Veterans Day, Memorial Day and the 4th of July. This image came with a group of images that include a saluting boy, a saluting girl and six hats that represent the uniforms of all the branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.
