This card has two meanings for me. First, I think of ALL my friends who are serving in the military and are deployed for months away from their families. Everyday I pray for their safety and safe return home. Second, although there are tons of card challenges out there… my thoughts are always with Freshly Made Sketches.
To make my card I turned it around and used my 2 1/2″ cirle punch through the paper and stamped my image on the Very Vanilla colored base paper. The red ribbon adds a splash of color and brings the clean and simple card to life. Three brads to the bottom right of the image add a cute sparkle too.
Don’t forget about the stamp sets that will be put into retirement on May 31, 2012. They are only available while supplies last.
