you are not forgotten...

I am so excited about tomorrows Our Daily Bread Designs new release that I just had to squeeze in time to share a sneak peek for you while playing along with the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge.  Their challenge this week is to make a red, white and blue thank you card.

The sets Not Forgotten and the Old Flag background are simply beautifully done. The first time I saw them it brought a tear to my eye because I have a young man from my church that is currently serving in Afghanistan and he has been injured in the line of duty.  These sets are exactly what I needed to make a card to sent off to him to let him know that I (and my whole family) are thinking about him and praying for his safe return.
What I used:
Our Daily Bread Designs Not Forgotten, Old Flag background
SU early espresso, not quite navy, riding hood red, basic black, GP white
Memento black, Versafine black Ranger brushed corduroy and antique linen
Copic markers, sponge, twine, Michael's copper brads
