- Stamp – Inkadinkado “Big Pattern Heart”
- Embossing folder – Cuttlebug “Musical Flourish”
- Die cut – Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Lacey Circles”
- Patterned paper – GCD Studios “Chianti Collection: Small Dots”

I was inspired by the current sketch at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Sketch #98 and made this card as a result. I popped up the image and the die cut for a little dimension and inked all of the edges. This is a great sketch–I really like the potential for color-blocking with it. Thanks for stopping by!

For this digital image challenge at Operation Write Home, I used one of the free images at Crafter’s Digital Art Center for the CDAC Progressive Challenge #8. I colored the puppy with Copic markers and made it into another love card/Valentine to ship off to the troops in the next group of shipments. Thanks for visiting today!

I was inspired by the current sketch at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps: Sketch Challenge #97 when making this card. I always like paper piecing, so this was a fun pattern to use. I’m putting together valentines to ship off for the troops soon, so this is another for that shipment. Thanks for the visit!

I colored Fluffles with Copic Markers and added several layers to the card to make colors stand out. Thanks for visiting.
