It's the 20th today, and that means it's time to make a card for the Dirty Dozen Alumni Challenge. Here are the rules we had to follow.
Challenge Focus: "Inside & Out"......stamp and decorate both the inside of your card AND the outside of the envelope. (any card size is ok) Please upload two photos.
Required Element: Patriotic element - interpret this any way you like (ex. color scheme, sentiment, image, whatever)
Restricted Element: No ribbon
Optional - Send your card to the troops so that they can in turn mail it home to family or friends (all themes and occasions welcome). If you choose to do so, Beate has agreed to accept them and send them to her husband. Please include the envelope with the card and mail them to Beate. Thanks!
edit: Thank you KathyC for pointing out that this fits in today's LSC Challenge. That just never happens for me: that a card fits a challenge without me making it specifically for that.
edit #2 - The circle opening was inspired by Cammie. She's used that technique before. I included that info on my blog, but thought I better include it here too. tfl

Tosh! This is amazing and wonderful! I love, love, love it! I cant wait to look inside....You need to link this to today's challenge too! Make a card that is not the shape of a square, rectangle, or circle! It fits there and NEEDS to be there! I absolutely love that little bee stamp! Just precious on a bicycle!

There's that cute little bee again, but this time he's distressed and on a star!!! This card is wonderful! Love the star shape, the stripes and the earthy look of it!

This is fantastic!! I love the aged look that you gave it!! Great image to go with the shape of the card. Very creative--the way the opening is a circle. Job well done!!
