Good Morning and Happy Veteran's Day!!!
Thank you to all who have served and those who are now serving in our country's armed forces! I appreciate the sacrifices you and your families have made for our United States of America!
I made this card and gave it to my husband yesterday to celebrate the United States Marine Corps birthday! He is not active duty and regrets this fact! Once a Marine, always a Marine!!! To continue the birthday celebration, I made my version of SOS for dinner! haha! Just ground beef with white gravy and biscuits, served with green beans and a salad. Actually, it's pretty yummy!!
Anyway, back to the card! I used the embossing technique, where the center is free of embossing. I used this tutorial from The Cuttlebug Spot that was given to us during a recent TLC. I used the star embossing folder and a round nestie. I added some stars and rhinestones. To make the bow I used my new Bow Easy! I think this little tool will get quite a bit of use from me!!!
Thank you again to all of our military and their families!
And thank you for visiting me today!
