WT400 Letters to home

Photo Details

Poster: Holstein

Toni gave us a wonderful challenge today. Make a thank-you card for a veteran. I used an image from su Godspeed. This image says it all...as we celebrate Veterans Day. We remember all they have done for us.
I colored image with chalk, sponged around the torn image. Added the thank-you. Embossed with two folders. tfl

Linda, this card is not only handsome, it is wonderfully patriotic, I love it!! I especially love how you have done the sentiment panel, with the smaller triangles at the top!! Who makes the little stars ef?

This is a gorgeous card Linda!! The beautiful thank you ribbon looks like a medal of sorts. The distressing is perfect for this, and I love the large stars framing the bottom.
