Lisa has challenged us to send cards to her nephew, William, who is a sailor. She asked us to add a smile or an envelope to our project. I fussy cut this clipart sailor who is wearing a big smile. For the Ways to Use It challenge, Sabrina asked us to use non traditional colors or tools on our Christmas cards. I used patriotic colors and a non traditional embossing folder to make this card. Thank you, Lisa and Sabrina, for these fun challenges!
I embossed my white panel with the woodgrain folder and added a red mat. I die cut and punched stars to form a wreath as a backdrop for my smiling sailor. I adhered the red white and blue die cut across the wreath and sailor. I added sparkle to this die cut with Wink of Stella. I printed out patriotic clipart to form the matching banner along the bottom of the card.

Oh my gosh I love this image and I love the great patriotic feel to this card. Great fussy cutting of the image too. Thank you so much for taking the time to send my sweet nephew a card. This card will certainly bring a big smile to him and I am forever grateful to all my crafty friends sending him happy mail.

You have knocked it out of the park with this card for William. Love your star wreath and those clip art images. The one going across the bottom looks awesome as does that smiling sailor!
