I had to think a bit on what I would do for Lisa's aunt and uncle, Chris and Neil. I wanted it to be something for both. Neil was a fireman...hmmm, one of the most risky jobs there is. He must be brave...and I'll bet they are pretty patriotic. And Chris certainly would need to be supportive of him in that profession.
I created the flag with a coffee filter, crunched up a bit, inked a baby wipe wrapped around an acrylic block with the red and blue and stamped it in the middle of the coffee filter. If there is a tutorial about this kind of thing, let me know. I know there is one for the baby wipe ink pad. I let that dry and then wrapped it around a piece of cardstock and glued it.
I diecut some stars, punched out a tag and the small stars, all out of silver cs. Dry embossed the blue and white cs with the star ef and brushed them with the silver ink. I think I will computer generate the word 'brave' and put it on the tag for a finishing touch. Hope they like it!

Great card for a first responder. Love the red/white/blue in the coffee filter flag. Interesting idea with the baby wipe. Will have to give that a try sometime. Wonderful card for the Party and I am sure one Neil and Chris will cherish.

Yes my aunt and uncle are very patriotic and they will absolutely love this card. I love all the textures you added to it too and that star tag is a wonderful touch. Thank you so much for helping left my uncle's spirits with this card. It truly means the world to me to have my crafty friends send him a card.
