I am working on donation cards for this month's Cards for a Cause (Hope for the Warriors). This week's Tea Pot theme was perfect and some of you Tea Potter's provided great CASE opportunities:
My first card CASEs Sabrina (Cook22). I loved how her stripe techinque evoked the flag without overtly being one. I like her inking better because the colors are more random than mine, so lesson learned for next time I do this technique. Ink blended with CP inks. Here's Sabrina wonderful card: MMTPT746 Hanging Stars by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers
Shelley (aka mcshmidty) was my next inspiration. I loved her bg and that fabulous script text, which, of course, I don't have. So I pulled out one of my very oldest stamps and embossed in white. Then smooshed DOX inks. I dipped the SU stamps in the left over smooshing ink on my glass mat and stamped that onto the card. I like that it was just bits and pieces of the stamp image. Isn't that eagle fierce? Might not be the exact right image for a thank you but I thought he was too cool not to use. Here's Shelly's fantastic card: MMTPT746 The Eagle has landed by mcschmidty at Splitcoaststampers
Last, but certainly not least, I CASEd Polly (Peeps321). I love how she created what looks like an official emblem. I've seen similar designs on many programs, announcements, flags, etc. I wish my stripes were wider, but this is the best stripe stamp I had. I loved her touches of gold with the stars, but I don't know if any of these folks are gold star families so I decided to skip that bit. Here's Polly's "officially" awesome card: MMTPT746 Patriotic Thoughts by peeps321 at Splitcoaststampers
Thank you ladies for your inspiration this week. Time permitting, I hope to CASE a few more gems from this Gallery. In the meantime, if you are feeling patriotic and would like to send some paper support to service members, veterans and their families, here's the link for this month's CFAC: November 2022 Mission - Cards For A Cause by purpleflowers at Splitcoaststampers

Oh my goodness Debbie, outstanding! I can't pick a favorite! Each one is fabulous. The eagle with the wings spread and the wide strip one above are awesome. You have a generous heart, my friend...
