Today is World Card Making Day and I am participating in the OWH WCMD Blog Hop. Click here to go see all the other blogs that are participating. But before you go take a peek at my contribution:
I used Operation Write Home Sketch 159 to create my card:
The card in the foreground is more true to the sketch. I used patriotic card stock from Paper Studio. The sentiment is from Stampin Up and is the Bitty Banner set. I cut out the stars using a Lawn Fawn die set. The base of my card is kraft card stock from Recollections. I used seam binding instead of ribbon.
And I did a little sewing.
Go get some inspiration - http://operationwritehome.org/starsandstamps. And then make some cards for our troops.
Have a great day and be inspired.

Colossians 3:23 - Whatever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not to men.
I like the patriotic paper you used for your cards with the distressed colors. Nice interpretation of the sketch.
