The Little Patriot - Waiting for Daddy

This is a little post it holder that I made to honor our veterans and their families.

 

I love this Tilda and puppy stamp - just too cute!  The bench is a CC Designs digital stamp.  Both were colored with copics.  The flag was colored with colored pencils - Crayola!  The blue/grey background was embossed with Spellbinders M-Bossabilities paisley embossing folder.  If you haven't tried these, they are awesome - two designs on one folder.  I used stardust stickles on her shoes and shirt.  The red lace is from Michaels.  The last of my blue sparkly ribbon was from my stash.


 Here is the inside.  
The sentiment was done in Word and cut out with a Spellbinders die.


I love this John Milton quote.


Thank you to all our veterans, past and present, men and women!

I am entering her in the following challenge (s):


I am so very grateful to all who visit.  
Comments are welcome and deeply appreciated!
