today the team is showing one theme: MILITARY

i created several projects with this theme. so let's start with the card. i started by cutting a 7x10 piece of dark khaki brown cardstock and folding it in half to create a 5x7 card base. on the top half of the card i used my favorite "fill a boring space" technique to make it look faux-embossed. it's a simple process. all you need is a circle punch, cardstock of the same color, and some adhesive. the circles are randomly placed---some hanging off the edge and trimmed---until the entire space is filled. it adds quite a bit of texture and dimension so the card doesn't look so flat. the middle band of patterned paper is flanked at the top and bottom with a border strip punched from my Fiskars Upper Crest punch. and the rest of the card is layered with stickers and finished off with a few coil brads.
