The Service Essentials stamp set is perfect for creating cards that honor our service men and women. There are coordinating dies available that you can bundle with it for even more creative options. I especially love the star image—it makes a great background layer and really adds a special touch to the card.
Here’s the sketch I used from this week’s Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge. You can see all the projects posted for this week’s challenge by clicking on the sketch below.
