Sneak Peek Day 3 featuring Come Home Soon Stamp set


Today is Day 3 in the unveiling of the new exclusive stamps offered by 2 Red Bananas. All stamp sets featured this week will be available for purchase Monday, February 2nd at the online store here.
We are featuring another set designed by Jami Bova today. It's called Come Home Soon. There are many stamps included in this set. I used 4 stamps in my project: soldier hugging the child, Come Home Soon sentiment, Land of the Free/Home of the Brave circle, and HERO. I inked the images and edged the cards with black. The colored areas and tracing around the soldier was done with Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits.

Paper(s): cream & kraft cardstock, Rusty Pickle's Primitive Hearts (an old favorite!), Paper Loft's Spring Fever
Stamp(s): 2 Red Bananas Come Home Soon
Other: twill ribbon

    Hi Maraya, I love the layout and sentiment and paper of your card. I guess that means I love the card. I also like the sentiment.

    I really like your card for so many reasons. I like the color you stamped on and how you colored it in. I also really like the circle behind. Neat card.

    Very nice card, Maraya. I liked that you used ribbon but it doesn't make it seem unmasculine.
