The Trahan family is in need of our thoughts and prayers. They have suffered greatly. Their son was killed in Iraq & they recently lost their house in a fire. We are sending them patriotic thinking of you cards. I can't even imagine. I hope our cards help them through this recent loss.
I made a stencil using the SU star punch & using blending brushes, colored with red & blue. I stamped the eagle's head & left it uncolored; using a Mark's Finest Papers image (no longer in business). After the photo, I added some crystal lacquer to the eye.
I hope our cards help bring them some comfort.
11/11 Edit by me - this is going in today's mail & on the t\inside I wrote, 'when the going gets tough, the tough get going'. There is also an outline of a gold star.
Thanks for stopping by.

That eagle is AWESOME! He is really all you need as he commands the whole card, but those stenciled stars were the perfect design addition. Just enough and really adds to the patriotic theme. Love that you used the family's motto for your sentiment inside. Wonderful card.
