Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
A few years ago, our family took a very big hit to our emotional health. A very good friend of our family, (our nephew's best friend), was killed while training to become a fire fighter. He was in almost every holiday photo our family had. His funeral was the largest I've ever attended. It was a record for Jacksonville.
The image was stamped in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink and colored with Copic Markers.
The star is a Sizzix Die Cut. The Silver layer is a tooled piece of SILVER that I had in my junk drawer. (It's broken under the image...Hey, I thought I'd come clean with you...) The flag was silver. I colored it with Copic Markers.

I can really feel for you. My son is a member of the FDNY and I worry about him constantly. Your card has a wonderful sentiment and I love your embellies! Beautiful!
