- Stamp – Hero Arts
- Patterned paper – BoBunny “Sun Kissed Stripe”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Sandpaper
I made this card with the first image in this round of the Crafter’s Digital Art Center’s Progressive Challenge. The digital “stamp” was created by Tiffany Doodles, and I colored it with Copic markers and added some sandpaper for the sand. Just a fun card that will be shipped off to OWH so that a soldier can send a bright “hello” to someone. Thanks for visiting.

I made this 6 X 6″ square card using inspiration from CPS Sketch #280. I heat embossed the flower with detail black embossing powder to create a crisp, shiny image. I repeated the black in some of the accent papers to pull the card together. Thanks for stopping by today.

I really like square cards, so this sketch caught my eye. It is Freshly Made Sketches #49. I combined stamped images with punched flowers to make the border images. The flower centers are made with black Pearl Pen, which is one of my new obsessions. This will be a perfect OWH card for a Hero who just wants to send a card for no particular reason. Thanks for stopping by!

I went to Unscripted Sketches for inspiration for this card. This is Unscripted Sketches Sketch #172 featuring the Lawn Fawn “Flying By” paper airplane stamp set, which is very fun. I stamped the airplanes on patterned papers and cut them out and mounted them with dimensional adhesive on the card front, also popping up the sentiment. I used the sketch and the Piggyback color challenge also featured for this week’s challenge. Enjoy your day and please stop by again soon.

- Stamp – Hero Arts “Woodland Oak Leaves”
- Border Punch – E K Success “Fleur de Lis”
- Cardstock – Bob Bunny Back to Backs
I made this card for the current
Midweek Throwdown Challenge at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps. The challenge was to use Kraft cardstock and add a couple of colors to jazz it up. I have color in my image and the green dotted card base. I used Ranger Distress Inks for the image and spritzed it with water to give it a watercolor effect. I like that look with leaves. Just a simple note card for a hero to send home for any occasion. Thanks for visiting today.

- Stamp – Memory Box “Whisper Print Daisy”
- Patterned papers – My Mind’s Eye “29th Street Market Carefree Graceful” collection
- Watercolor paper
- Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Markers
I used the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Sketch #132 for this card. The dimensions worked well for this stamp, which I purchased recently. I love Memory Box stamps and die cuts. They are a Seattle company and I really like supporting companies from the Northwest. Their products are very high quality. So I used Distress Markers to color the stamp and then spritzed it with water for the watercolor effect. I edged all of the cut paper pieces with Color Box Chalk Ink to tie everything together. Thanks for visiting!

- Stamp – Impression Obsession “Vertical Greetings”
- Image – from the Internet
- Cardstock – BoBunny and Bazzill
I’m finally getting a card posted again. Too much work and running around, and not enough card-making time! I made this one for my son’s friend, who likes weasels! I’m sure that this is my first weasel card. The image worked well with this sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping (Sketch #202). It is a very simple card, made mostly of cardstock. I popped up the image and the sentiment. Just a fun card for a 13-year-old.

- Patterned papers – SEI “Bright Blossom” collection
- Cardstock – Bazzill
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!
