Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the day that Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, invading Nazi-occupied France, and proved to be the turning point of World War II. I thought a patriotic card was in order.

This isn’t an idea I would have thought of on my own, but I copied ideas others came up with using the new stamp set Work of Art to make a US flag of sorts. The “thank you” is from Itty Bitty Banners and die cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits. I just hand cut the Silver Glimmer Paper as a layer underneath the words. The little stars are punched with the star in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. There are times during the year when we want to make a patriotic card or decor item or favor and now we have another useful stamp set for this in our arsenal.
