Thank you...

Hi there!

First of all, I want to comment on that it's a day of memory for those we have lost in regards to 9-11.  Thoughts and prayers are with the families.  May God bless our country and we thank all those who serve to help protect us and keep us safe!  Thank you!

Now onto my card...

 
 
I started with a white base and stamped the diagonal background with a new stamp, Studio G.  The bird stamp is from Hero Arts, which is new also.  I used distress inks on the bird and added an enamel dot for the eye.  The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy.  All items on the card have never been used before.  Yeah!  This challenge helps me to find things in my craft room to use!  It's a great idea that Darnell has come up with this fun challenge.  So, I'm entering this card over at Darnell's NBUS Challenge!  I'm sure I'll be checking out her challenge again soon...thank you, Darnell!
Take care and have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Maria
