This week I have been sick with a bad cold, so only did The Diva Challenge you saw in my post on Tuesday, and these ATC cards for our monthly meeting theme of "Heroes". The first thing that came to mind as heroes were the men and women in our armed services. I also did a card of our first 13 colonies flag. Those brave people got our county on its' path to greatness. So here are my ATCs for the theme, in alphabetical order. This is also my entry into Paint Party Friday . Be sure to check out all these links for the wonderful artwork from around the world.
They are all done in ink with Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencil accents.
