This is a very simple, bright card. The sketch is from Unscripted Sketches #168. I’ve had very limited creating time, so I had to keep it simple and wanted cheery! This is a nice stamp set for cheery and it will be a nice card to send in my next Operation Write Home box. Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for the visit!
This was a card that I made after the first lessons on Day 1 of Online Classes “Stretch Your Stamps” class. Our first day’s lessons featured background stamps and a variety of things one can do with them. I tried a couple of different ideas, but only managed to finish this card so far. And I pretty much used my background stamp to make the background! I tried double stamping it, but didn’t like the way it turned out with this pattern. I simply inked the edges with ColorBox Chalk ink to add some visual interest. It has been a great class so far! Thanks for visiting.
This is a pretty clean and simple card. I really feel that the rose silhouette stamp is beautiful and strong enough to stand alone with the muted tones of the patterned papers as a backdrop. I really enjoyed this sketch, the first I’ve used from Freshly Made Sketches–this is Freshly Made Sketch #42. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you soon.
This week at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps, the midweek throwdown challenge was to make a card featuring monkeys. I just happened to have a monkey stamp, so I decided to combine it with a kite from another set to make my own version of a flying monkey (hopefully not as creepy as those seen on the Wizard of Oz). The sentiment came from yet another set! Thanks for visiting today.
For this card I used the current sketch at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps: Sketch #127. It lends itself well to showing off some pretty patterned papers in the larger block, but you can still have a smaller image as the focal point (and in this case, the sentiment). And I’ve slipped another butterfly in! Have a great day and I’ll see you soon.
This was a fun card to make, sort of like putting a puzzle together. I used the Case Study Challenge #96 card for inspiration and went from there, using a hot air balloon instead of an airplane. I used three different stamp sets from three different companies, popped some of the elements up and kept some flat to the card just to help portray the “flight” involved here! And the saying is perfect for an Operation Write Home card (since it is from one of Hero Arts’ OWH sets), so it will definitely go in my box to the troops. I also continued on with the OWH midweek throwdown challenge colors of yellow and blue, since it fit the design so perfectly! Have a pleasant day!
This is one of my favorite stamps–and I’ve had it for years! This is the first time I have colored it with Copic markers and I liked the way they allow me to add some subtile shading in the broad areas of color in the background. I do like the yellow and blue combination and using them was the Midweek Throwdown Challenge at OWH Stars and Stamps this week. Thanks for checking-in today and I’ll see you again, most likely with more butterflies!
I made this card using the current sketch at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps blog, which is Sketch #126. The stamped foreground image is actually just one half of the actual image. I cut it in half to fit the card better! The background of the dark brown floral image includes a script, but I also stamped the Hero Arts manuscript background stamp in a lighter brown ink for some added interest. Thanks for visiting here today.
I took the latest sketch challenge at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps to make this card: Sketch Challenge #124. I’ve had the patterned paper collection for some time, so it was nice to use a couple of the patterns for this. Thanks for stopping by today.
Hi there. This is just a fun, simple card using a bonus sketch that came along with OWH Sketch #123 this week. Thanks for visiting. I’m hoping to get more Operation Write Home cards done this week!
