I wanted to wish my American friends a Happy Memorial Day weekend, and also to give you a sneak peek at some new stamps coming your way June 1 from Our Daily Bread designs, and also to play in yesterday's Free4all to repeat yourself. I repeated the star brads.
There are some awesome themed sets coming June 1 at ODBD, and this card shows a couple from a Patriotic themed group, Home of the Free set and the Some Gave All set. There are some other great themes coming too that I can't wait to share, but for this weekend... I did want to say a special thank you to all of our servicemen and women who have given that we may enjoy our freedoms, and the families of those who gave the supreme sacrifice. You are not forgotten!
My image is stamped with Memento and colored with Copics, and cut out with a SB Butterfly Corner die. I then embossed it with a SU! basket weave folder. The dp is BoBunny Liberty, brushed gold matting on a navy base. The sentiment panel was hand cut to a banner shape. I stamped America on my dp, added three brads and some twine for a simple patriotic card.
