Being married to a Soldier in the US Army and being a US ARMY Vet
myself, I just had to make time to create for today's wonderful MMTPT303
Challenge over as SCS - Splitcoaststampers.com - to show my support for the Military.
This image is sad, but it captures the sense of pride our soldiers fee - when we must say farewell. The sentiment was taken from the same vintage card with the image that I found at a thrift store. I cut out the pats I wanted to use with my diecuts and sponged them. The Sentiment reads:
