Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all those who put themselves in harms way to protect our way of life, our selves and our children.It just occurred to me that it's probably not such a great idea to create my stamping 411 card SO early that I post my card after the holiday that it was intended. :)
Not that it matters too much, this card could be really used for any occasion and is sporting my signature brad bow. So ~ I guess it's not so bad that it says happy Mothers Day. :)
In fact, you could probably choose almost any sentiment from the teeny tiny wishes, less fathers day, and you'd be pretty close!
This card uses my retiring BFF, bordering blue and the greenhouse garden stamp set, stamped with bordering blue and rich razzleberry. I know if you read my blog often, YOU know how much I'm going to miss this color combo.
I used the polka dot embossing folder for the 3rd layer.
