Today's card was made for the
Stars and Stamps mid-week throwdown to use a digital image, and I've also used the
SCS 374 sketch. I found this awesome
free digi image from
freevintagedigistamps.com and instantly knew I could use this to make some "Any Hero" cards for OWH. I printed the image on crumb cake cardstock and only colored the metals, buttons and pins on the collar and hat with glitter pens. I matted the image with some artichoke-colored green card stock and sanded all the edges, and embossed the cream-colored background with a Sizzix ef, then cut it into squares. I added some mini brads to the corners and a couple mini star brads to the sentiment panel. The sentiment is from MFP. I'll be making more hero cards with this fantastic digi image and trying it in different colors.
Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

Oh Carol.. this is a great card. I seen that digi the other day and saved it myself, but haven't used it yet.. I also saved that sketch and haven't done anything with it either.. haha. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of art. ~ Pam
This is a great card Carol! I think you are right, the image can work for any hero card. The embossing looks great. Definitely a great masculine card!
Fabulous Card. What a fabulous image. Love your little stars and brads also. The little bit of color in the image is just perfect.
Super fantastic! Love that embossing folder you used on here too. Perfect card for OWH!

Perfect image for your OWH cards. I think the glitter pens were all that was needed. Great job, Carol.
