Be on your guard

soldier card
Hi!

This is my Sunday Scripture card.

Due to what happened on Thursday I felt like I needed to make a card for
the troops.

You see I live in Austin, which is less than 2 hours away from Ft. Hood. If you
haven't heard there was an awful incident that occured. I won't go into detail
because I know I won't do it justice. But it was terrible and to imagine that it
didn't happen overseas but right here at home and on a military base at that.

The sentiment that I chose is:
soldier card inside

Also, I was visiting Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenges.

Their scripture for this week is:
John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay his life for his friends."

This is Challenge# 12.

Part of the challenge is also to send this card to Operation Write Home. And for
an extra challenge send cards to OWH.

Materials Used:
Stamps: Firecracker Designs So Far Away
Paper: Doodlebug Designs Baseball Stripe
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Ribbon Impressions Red & Blue Gingham


Happy Crafting.
M.E.

  1. That is a great set to use for this card, I like how you cut it out to frame the soldier. Nice touch with the ribbon too, I don't think I've ever seen a blue and red gingham. Thanks for participating in the SSCC this week.

  2. This is a great card and would be appropriate for so many reasons. I love the stripes with that image.

  3. You've set a great tone for this card and the inside sentiment couldn't be more appropriate.

  5. Oh my, so close to Fort Hood. Texas is such a great state full of sweet people.

    Your card is so beautiful. I love the sentiment and your card front is thoughtful.

    Thanks for participating in SSCC this week. Please come back and play again.
