Rick is temporary commander of the entire communications squadron at Eglin AFB right now. He will have this title (along with longer hours, more weekend work and no extra pay) until the middle of July, when the new commander arrives. Besides having to work even longer hours, he has a lot more people “under” him. One of them is getting married and he asked me to make a card.
I started with a 5 1/4″ square card of shimmery white. I cut a piece of 3″ x 5″ paper out of Paper Salon Swatches. I used the ticket corner punch on the bottom two corners. I added a 3/8″ x 5″ strip of brushed silver on the top of the Paper salon paper and adhered some of my new white ric rac ribbon (May Arts) over that.
The main image is stamped with Petal Prints, one of my all time favorite flower sets. I used Regal Rose and stamped the darker looking images one time off, the other two or three times. I used Certainly Celery for the fern stamp. I also stamped it off once before putting it on my shimmer white paper. The saying is from the stamp set In my Thoughts. The main image is layered on Rose red cardstock.
I added a little bit of paper piercing and a metal rimmed tag with flower punchouts made with the Spring Flower Punch. I like how it turned out. I hope Rick will like it too.

Beautiful card! Isn’t it awful when longer hours a TA (temporary assignment) Title is not justly compensated? Such is the case in many governmental positions and private sectors. Hope he hits the beach with all of you when he can.
