Julia, this is a great idea for a challenge. My apologies for not having flags for all the nations represented here on SCS - I am not intentionally ignoring all of you.
I know I have uploaded a lot of cards for the troops, but I have a couple who need a "hug" right now so I wanted to make a card to send out.
I really like this flag DP from Paper Studio for this purpose, but I have trouble using it as a bg. I think it worked in this modification of yesterday's sketch (#204). The image was received through WIshRAK.
I am not sure how well it shows up, but I sponged More Mustard chalk om the sentiment and the edges of the image, to try to match the stripes.
The verse inside says: The world's a better place
Because of people like you

I think that your card will give someone a lift and the encouragement to keep doing what they do best. I love the eagle, the sentiment and the flag. I am Canadian and proud of all of the men from all of the Countries who are out there protecting our rights to freedom.

You always do such nice cards for the troops and this is another. Is wonderful Dorothy! You certainly do your part in being thankful for soldiers. I admire you for that!
