IC376, US Army

Photo Details

Poster: Cards_By_America

This is my take for Today's Inspirational Challenge #IC376... We needed a Congratulations Card for a dear Military friend and neighbor - who is getting promoted to a LTC in the US Army.

I chose this fabulous 24K Gold & Black Limoges Box for its brilliant Gold and gorgeous Textures - I especially love the rope handle - which I incorporated here along the top; http://www.limogesboxcollector.com/r...ed-p-3854.html

TFL & Happy Creating! :)

this makes me sit up a little straighter and am reminded of all our military families do for us. Thank you for the inspiration. Your card is certain to be a hit.

Fabulous, America! DH is an Army vet, so I can really appreciate this. Of course I was born on an AFB so there's a bit of a rivalry, lol. Love it!

Great Army card. My DGS is in the Army and I'm always looking for ideas for cards to send him. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a fabulous design, America.....so elegant and regal....perfect for a new LTC!!! I showed this to my retired Army hubby and he gave the nod with a slight raise of the eyebrow along with a verbal *WOW* which showed his approval!!
