Here are the invitations I am making for Steve's retirement party.
I found a similar card on Splitcoaststampers.com by Wendy Jo here is a link http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...y%20retirement
I started with Colonial White card stock and sponged the edges with Dessert sand Ink. I took Dessert sand card stock and sponged the edges of it with dessert sand ink. I printed my Husbands name and rank out on colonial white card stock and then stamped the banner from CTMH's HERO stamp set D 1474, over the name in dessert sand ink. Then hand cut out the banner. I printed out the words RETIRED and WILSON on Colonial white card stock and stamped the tag from SU's Tiny Tags stamp set and punched them out using SU's coordinating punch. I sponged the edges with dessert sand ink. I added the tags to the dessert sand card stock before I adhered it down. I printed the camouflage paper and cut it and punched ticket corners then layered it onto Dutch Blue and then onto Cocoa card stock. I added the name banner to the top. I placed that at the bottom of the card over the dessert sand card stock. I stamped the Soldier from SU's Godspeed stamp set onto colonial white card stock and punched ticket corners, I then sponged dessert sand ink all around the edges and onto the soldier. I sponged olive ink onto the soldier and the box he is setting on. I sponged Dutch blue ink under the soldier and around his shoulders. I layered the soldier onto Dutch blue card stock and then onto cocoa card stock. I then layered it onto the dessert sand card stock and turned it at an angle, I used foam tape to the top of the soldier so it has dimension. I showed it to Steve yesterday and he really likes them.

On the inside I am going to add a picture of Steve in his Blues,
because most of the family has not seen him in his uniform.
I have to get the pictures printed tomorrow, then they go into the mail.
Well when I went to get them printed out the computer couldn't find the picture on my disk then they only print them 4" x 6" and that won't fit in my envelopes so no pictures going out after all. Sorry.
I would love to here what you think about them.
Happy Scrapin',
Janice
