Made this card to welcome a friends DH home from Iraq. Saw the poem online at addictedtorubberstamps.com and just had to buy it. Stippled around the saying and added silver brads to finish the panel off after stamping lightly two stars over the saying. The flag background is stamped in pallet noir and watercolored using WWC and an aquapainter. Stamped stars & swirls on the red card to fill in the edges.
The poem reads:
To The Soldiers Of America
Standing right beside us
We forget that you are there,
When trouble comes to find us
We turn to you with prayer.
Without a hesitation
You step into the fight,
Standing right before us
To protect us day and night.
You leave your home and family
Knowing where you're bound,
With courage, strenght and valor
You stand a piece of ground.
Security, peace and freedom
Are the gifts that you supply
The soldiers of America
On you we can rely.
Thank You

This is absolutely breathtaking. I just love all aspects of it. I saw that poem the other day. It is such a wonderful salute to our American soldiers that give so much of themselves so we can all be safe. You did a wonderful job. I love the flag.
