I’ve been looking at Library of Congress images recently for inspiration, and tonight’s slightly silly card came directly from a 1942 photo from an Navy airplane manufacturing plant. The Library of Congress explains the image shown:
Mrs. Virginia Davis, a riveter in the assembly and repair department of the Naval air base, supervises Chas. Potter, a NYA trainee from Michigan, Corpus Christi, Texas. After eight weeks of training he will go into civil service. Should he be inducted or enlist in the armed service, he will be valuable to mechanized units of the Army or Navy
The photo is the basis for this thank you card, which uses paper from the Big Top Birthday Designer Series Paper:
Here are the details on the card:
- Background: Big Top Birthday—Pattern 4
- Library of Congress Photo mounted on Postage Stamp Punch in Gumball Green
- Square Punch, stretched to rectangles across the bottom, in Background: Big Top Birthday—Pattern 2 and 11, both with default drop shadow
- Get It Done—Punch 1 in Daffodil Delight, with 3 pt mat in Gumball Green, with default drop shadow
- Text: Arial, 24 Pt in Gumball Green
- Star Punches in Real Red, with default drop shadow
- Embellishments: Pewter Brads, with default drop shadow—to simulate the idea of rivets :)
