Patriotic Tribute

In honor of Memorial Day and all who serve our country, I created a patriotic card as a tribute.




I followed a sketch from Jo's Scrap Shack and used George and Basic Shapes to cut the squares. I used two types of star patterned paper that I've had for a while, and added red and white ribbon. I finished it off with a few gems.

Inside the card I added another sentiment. Both stamps are rubber stamps that don't get enough use.



Thanks
