Double D Patriotic / Support Our Troops Challenge

Are you ready to have fun with another fabulous inspirational board at Double D Challenges?  Here it is just in time for Memorial Day and the Forth of July.

You have a chance to win this fabulous Thank You die just for playing. 
The Prize 


My inspiration came from the colors the flag and the silhouette of the soldier. I started with some white card and used my scoreboard and distress ink to create a wood grained effect.  I embossed a piece of vellum with a star embossing folder,and cut it on the diagonal. The stamp is from Our Daily Bread and I colored it with Prisma pencils and Spectrum Noir markers. The Hello Die is a Die-Versions Curly Word Die available at the Dies R Us store .

Now head to Double D Challenge Blog to see the fabulous inspiration from the team.
