Thank you Veterans!

I will be sending this card to LeRoy Blessing, a dear, kind and wonderful man whom I met through my job. He served his country in the Vietnam War and I want to thank him for doing so. I used the Kraft Card Stock - it's not going away- it will be called Crumb Cake in the new Stampin' Up Catalog and Idea Book! The Stamp Set Courage was used along with the Thank You Kindly Set. I stamped with Staz-On, let it set and then colored with the water color pencils and blender pens. A piece of Close to Cocoa Card Stock was cut to add a layer and the edges were roughed up with the Cutter Kit and then sponged with some Choc Chip Ink! Linen Thread was then tied around the card to add a little something.
