04.20.12 FWF & CFC #2

Welcome to another April FWF.
Check out the Unity BLOG to
find the list of everyone playing along.

This card is for a friend whose 
 husband has been gone to
Kuwait and comes home in May. 
I want to let her know how much
we appreciate her sacrifice,
as well as his.



The inspiration for this card
came from 4 items that have
been laying on my table for
ages....the buckle and the
3 layers of the embellishment.
The rest of the card came
together around them.

I'm entering this card into
the Crafty Friends Challenges #2
to use 2 die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by
and have a blessed weekend!!

The stamps are from
Die cuts are Spellbinders
Scalloped Circles &
Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents.
Buckle is cut on Silhouette.
Button is Favorite Findings
Ribbon from stash
Distress inks
