I used Technique Junkies Sanded Coordinations (red) and Cuttlebug Highlights (white) for the background. I stamped the image and sentiment in SU Night of Navy. I added a few red stars on the sentiment panel.
Here is where I get a little Nostalgic:
That is my Dad in Korea. He was probably pulling a practical joke on someone……!

Awesome card...again! Isn't it a shame we let stamps like this go unused until solemn holidays like Memorial Day? I've actually been pretty good about using the stamp set from FCD with the soldier on it that I won from you. It probably wouldn't get much use if I didn't make cards for OWH or part of my daughter's unit in Afghanistan. I'm glad to see that you are participating in the OWH blog hop again on Sat. It's been so nice getting to know people like you that also support our military! See you on Sat.!
Great card, I love the red stars on the sentiment panel! Great picture of your father too, handsome man.
LOVE it!! This card captures the feel of memorial day weekend...thanks :-)
Love your sanded stars background and what you did with your images! Lovely creation! Happy Memorial Day!
Beautiful tribute to the Holiday weekend! Thanks for using Artistic Outpost images.
Shelly: great card, I love the sanded paper behind the images-gives it a little "rough" feel.
Ohhh WONDERFUL card! This is perfect for the holiday - VERY Patriotic. Love the background and those images...Happy Memorial Day!!

What an awesome card and I love the photo honoring your dad! Thanks so much for all you do to support the troops and I'm excited to see you are in the bloghop this weekend! Will be back to see what you've been working on!
Wonderful card Shelly! Love that photo of your father - reminds me of some that I have seen of my dad when he was in WWII.
I really enjoy this technique and I love that picture of your father -- what a way to save a special photo! This would make the great start for a scrapbook page!
The panels with the stars are a perfect backdrop to this stamp. Wonderful job.

GREAT card--I LOVE that you posted a photo of your dad from Korea--I have one of mine too--he always called that one "the Turk" think it's due to his mustasche.
