My son is a mailman and used to being outside all day. He was deployed to Kuwait a month ago and is having a hard time adjusting to working 12 hour night shifts. No sunshine is getting to him cause he sleeps most of the day. I made this card to tell him to hang in there. The camo clothes were made with watercolor pencils. the sky with a template, the ground was sponged and stamped.

Oh boy, how tough for your son, and you as well I'm sure. I think you BOTH need a "hang in there" card. This one however is just gorgeous. I wish I could make sky like you do. Template or no template, it looks awesome and how clever of you to add a cammo theme. I'm glad you pointed it out in your description because I didn't immediately notice. Great attention to detail. I'm sure he's going to love the card and love you more for thinking of him.

I just read your explanation about this card. Great idea. Those away from home just love to get any kind of mail. Super card...love how you colored the clothes.
