Yesterday I recalled that the Fourth of July is coming up really soon and I had no cards made for the shut-ins. And since all the shut-ins are guys I made up cards that sort of resemble a shirt and tie ensemble. I hope it will pass off as such at any rate. LOL
Oh, and I found the dies that were lost which is a good thing. I stuck them in a small pizza box and inside a drawer. All of a sudden I recalled where I had put them. So miracles do happen.
Some of the shirt was done with dies and some with hand cutting. And, I used the brushes to blend on some color so that the elements resembled a shirt somewhat. Oh, and I used the Plaid Maker stencil to do a red, white and blue plaid which I decided would work for a handkerchief in the pocket. I know the neck of the shirt is not right but I had no idea how to make it look any better so I just left it alone. Anyway. I made several with this same design. So now I can send them out tomorrow.

Cute! I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one Nation, Under God, indivisible and justice for all. Did I say it right? Been so long since I've said the pledge, I wasn't sure it was still up there in the ole brain. smile!
So clever! What a perfect bow tie ☺
