I took a break from making holiday cards in order to make a CAS "Any Hero" thank you card to send in with my donation of cards to Operation Write Home. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching here in the U.S., I thought it would be fitting.
The heart flag and sentiment are from a retired Sweet Stamp Shop set. I fussy cut the heart flag and popped it up for some dimension, adding ultra fine glitter to the stars and stripes. After doing so, I remembered that glitter is a NO-NO at OWH...oops! I'll likely make another one with no glitter and save this card for a family friend who is currently serving overseas but will be home in a few months.
I'm sure you will all take this cue in many different directions...I can't wait to see where it takes you! Be sure to link up your FLAG card by noon on Monday (Central time). Check out the inspiring cards at our Design Team and Guest Designer blogs, too!
