I made this card for the CAS (Clean and Simple) challenge - today we had a sketch to follow
I made my front panel larger than the sketch but used the same number of layers. I stamped my toy soldier right on the Cosmo Cricket DP. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of silver card stock and punched it with the Key tag punch to be like a dog tag. The chain is from Michaels.
This is also for the Doubledog Dare Challenge I do with SCS friends - Anne (jdmommy) issued the challenge today to make a kids card. I know my son always loved to play 'Army' when he was little - and when he grew up he signed up to serve! (thanks Josh!)

I love the toy soldiers and the dog tag is an awesome touch. Many thanks and blessings to Josh for his service, he is always appreciated and in our prayers.

This is a great kids' card! The keytag and chain are just perfect for the soldier theme, but I love your color combo best. The soldier looks like he belongs on the DP, so nicely done!
