This is a card I made in a patriotic theme. It is the same layout as the Father's Day card posted here, but I have used Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White, and Basic Gray with silver brads. The stars are punched using the Stars #2 die with the Big Shot, but the two coordinating star punches from Stampin' Up! would make this card a breeze to make as well. By changing the greeting and colors, the card has a totally different feel.
I made this card to send as an "Any Hero" card as part of the 25+2 challenge. The thank you greeting seemed appropriate to tell a soldier thank you for serving! I am new to cardsforheroes.org, but I am very excited about participating with the organization. Stamping is a great hobby for me, but making cards for our nation's heroes brings more meaning to it. I make many more cards that I can use personally, and it is great to share cards with soldiers who appreciate them so much. If you wonder how much, check out the hero blog on the website!
The next blog on the hop is that of Marianne Walker in Eugene, Oregon. She is the product specialist for Copic Markers and designs stamps for Our Craft Lounge. She is very talented and has FANTASTIC tips on coloring and shading with Copic Markers on her blog. Her work is beautiful!

Wonderful card!!
What a cute card! As the spouse of a currently deployed solider I know that these cards will be appreciated and used! My DH just complained to me the other day that he sat in line for 30 minutes at the makeshift PX to find only birthday and graduation cards! (so he says he made me a card! LOL!)

I love this red and blue together. The grey is a nice added touch! Sometimes it's hard to use just red, white, and blue, and the grey is perfect to add in there. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous, patriotic card.
