… for serving and defending our country is my wish today – Veterans’ Day – for all of the members of our armed forces, past and present.
The card I made this afternoon is for this month’s Cards for a Cause challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com. The cards made for this cause will be donated to Operation: Quiet Comfort, an organization that supports wounded soldiers as they recover from their injuries.
I don’t own any really patriotic stamps, but I felt the starry designer paper and the stripes evoked a sense of Americana. The layout for this card is one I’ve used many times before. It’s the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge #21. I love it because it’s so versatile. By changing the designer papers and the sentiment, it can used for any occasion.
