For a Wounded Hero

Photo Details

Poster: momof5sons

I am shamelessly posting this for two challenges to get as many views as possible. This is for a card drive for an injured Marine Sargent, Josh Yarbrough. You can read his story here:
http://sgtyarbrough.blogspot.com/
I do not know this young man, but I could. Any of us could...
I colored this image on Monday for Josh, not knowing quite how to work it into a card. Saw the color challenge and Roxie's wonderful sketch this morning and knew that both would be perfect for this card. PT - 1
Thank you so much for looking. Rather than taking the time to comment, please go to your stash or make a quick card to send to Sgt. Yarbrough and have a peaceful day.

Well, I'm going to comment even though you're sending me off to 'do time' in my Rubber Room. :) This is positively wonderful Marie. You've done a fabulous job on the image - it works perfectly on this sketch. Awesome card! WTG. :)

This is so beautiful and a wonderful idea. I am already working on some cards for Joshua, hoping to send one every day this week! Thanks for sharing, Marie.

This is a gorgeous card and I am sure that Josh will be pleased to receive it! I love how you used the colors of the week and the pickup truck is a perfect image to use for it.

Ok girlfriend don't make me cry. As a Mother of two boys myself age 18 and 25 we can relate. Your card is just gorgeous. I love how you colored the truck. The framing layers look awesome and the embossing is perfect. What a great looking card! I will be sending one too! We need more stories about our heros in the news and on the internet instead of (I won't mention her name) junk and drama!!!

Great use of the colors and the sketch Marie! I really love the tire embossing and the rivets in the corners.

What a sweet way to send positive words to an injured soldier! My husband was in the navy for over 26 years, and although he never was hurt, I can sympathize with his family. I wrote his address down to send a card. Thank you, and your card is wonderful!
