I created this card to celebrate my wife's promotion to Colonel, which I am incredibly humbled and grateful for being this week's Teapot Tuesday. I don't know a proper enough thank you since I know how much this will mean to her when the cards start surprising her.
As a senior leader and soldier, she consistently demonstrates selflessness and impressive dedication to the Army's well-being but even more so, the soldiers who she works for. She's also a pretty good wife.
Our marriage has always been intertwined with our service to the Army, and I wanted to reflect that in the card. I used my Cricut to cut out wedding rings, which I layered over the patriotic paper and then on top of another military-themed paper. Gluing all of the slender pieces of the ring together took some effort.
I am really happy with how the card turned out and I'm sure it will be good for something baked this weekend.
Thanks for looking. Thanks for your support.
