This was created for a fun challenge to create a holiday card using ribbon for a soldier to send home, sponsored by May Arts on Operation Write Home’s Stars and Stamps site! I have this beautiful May Arts pleated ribbon that I really like to use on Christmas cards. I used a Card Positioning Systems sketch for inspiration. Thanks for stopping by.

This card is for another of the OWH Birthday Bash challenges: non-traditional Christmas colors. The purple background is pretty non-traditional! It was kind of fun to design something a little “out there” for this one. Sending out a special “thank you” to Barb at Paper Therapy Ponderings for hosting this challenge! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

- Patterned papers – Echo Park: “Wrapping Paper” and “Garland”
- Pearls – Queen and Company – grass green
We are gathering our Fall and Winter holiday cards for Operation Write Home now. The troops need a lot of holiday cards, so we are challenged to make them now for the shippers. So we begin with the OWH Christmas in July challenge to get us going. I chose this is a fun stamp set from The Cat’s Pajamas to get me going, since it not only has this dog, but it has a cat and a few PENGUINS, too! I colored the image with Copics and finished off the edging around the green paper with opaque white pen “stitching.” Thanks for visiting and Happy Howlidays!
