Hello!
It's Friday and time for another Inspiration Friday challenge post. This week's theme over at La-La Land Crafts is ANYTHING GOES. Since Monday was Memorial Day here in the United States, I decided to make a card honoring all of those who have lost their lives serving in the military protecting us and our freedom and their families who have suffered the ultimate sacrifice. They are true Heroes!
To make the stripes on the flag, I used the new Awareness Ribbon Die and trimmed off the loop on each stripe. I added rhinestones to the white stripes to give them some highlights. I tried adding red rhinestones to the red stripes but thought it looked too cluttered.
I used the pilot kitty from the Traveling Cats Clear Stamp Set for my Air Force Pilot Kitty. As a child, my dad was a Captain in the Air Force, so the flight suit I designed is to honor his service. When I went to visit my dad on the base, he was usually in this style of uniform, of course, his was green instead of blue. I took creative license and changed the color for my card today. I drew in the flight suit details using my Copic Multiliner 0.3 Pen. The original kitty image was holding a little airplane but I cut if off so my kitty could wave a flag saying "my Hero."
I used the Double Stitched Stars Die Set to create the star shaker. I used tulle instead of acetate for the shaker window. I really love how the tulle looks over acetate on this card. I filled it with yummy red, white and blue sequins and added rhinestones around the star for extra sparkle and to continue the design element from the rhinestones on the stripes.
This card would be great to send to someone who has served or is serving in the military thanking them for their service. You could, of course, color the uniform to fit any of the military branches...Army, Navy, Air Force...Marines!
