Sleeping Peacefully Tonight Because of You

Happy Monday evening, bloggers! I have a card to enter into Getting Cricky's Simply Sunday Challenge - Freedom Isn't Free. I think I still had the Operation Owl Blog Hop on my mind when I made this ;)

The background paper is from My Mind's Eye Love Notes stack. For the strip of red paper, I used the Tim Holtz distressed lines embossing folder and for the blue, a Cuttlebug star border and EK Success punch. The red stripe and blue star paper are my weird take on an abstract flag :P The owl was cut from Create a Critter at 3". I used the seeing spots folder on the owl, argyle on the tree branch and I'm not sure what the name of the one I used on the leaves. The twine is from The Twinery. I used a nestabilities die to cut the tag for the sentiment, which is from K Andrew's awesome Freedom Isn't Free set. $1 from every stamp set sold benefits the Intrepid Fallen Heroes for those who are seriously wounded/disfigured while serving overseas service. Click HERE to purchase your own set. I actually combined two stamps. I taped over the other words on the American Solider stamp because I liked how this sentiment sounded for this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I promise to have those tutorials up soon :)
