How many cards have you made to thank female military service members? Since this week’s ODBD Shining the Light challenge is “patriotic or red, white and blue,” I decided to make one using the new Patriotic Pennants set with matching dies and adding some flowers from Sing to the Lord to dress it up a bit for a woman. For more details about this week's ODBD challenge, please visit the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog. More “chat” on my blog. Hope you like it – and thanks for looking!

Fantastic card, Cheryl. The smallest item, the pretty little flowers make such a big statement. The design leaves no doubt that this was made with such care and love for country and those who serve.
