Crazy4Cocoa & Friends C4C23 - Honor a Vet!

Hello, and welcome to another Crazy4Cocoa & Friends challenge. This week in honor of Veteran's Day on November 11th, we ask you to honor a veteran by making a card for him or her! Use whatever supplies Veteran's day means to you. When I think of Veteran's Day, I think of patriotic colors, so I used red, white, blue & kraft along with this Patriotic Cocoa image for my card. The background was done by cutting out stars from some BoBunny Liberty dp, and embedding them into the kraft layer by lightly gluing them on and then embossing everything in one pass through the machine. I colored Cocoa with Copics and added a sentiment that's perfect to honor a veteran. We owe all of our veterans a note of gratitude for their efforts in serving our country. This will be an "Any Hero" card I'll put into my next shipment that goes to OWH.

Thanks for checking in today and if you want to play along with us, you can use any Cocoa, Rhubarb, or any of those cute critter images from SNSS to play along! Use clear stamps or digis - it's your choice! When uploading to the galleries, please tag your creation with C4C23.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and we look forward to seeing your Cocoa cards!
Remember to thank a veteran!
Happy Veteran's Day!

Carol

Carol, or should I say "genious". The background paper you made by using pieces of dp and kraft is just outstanding. The ribbon and your sentiment really top this one off nicely,and of course Cocoa is, as always, adorable. Hope you are feeling better today.
