Or a bloghop with Operation Write Home and our sister
organization in Denmark (OSHI). We are
using the colors in our national flags – red, white and blue for OWH and red
and white for OSHI. Each blog will have
a card and a sketch that coordinates with the card design.
You have come from
Margit’s blog – but if you could lost along the way – head back to OWH Starsand Stamps to renew your creative journey.
Here is my card.
My card is a very basic design. I wanted to use the sentiment for my card
because I think it would be the perfect sentiment for our heroes to send home
to their family and friends. I also knew
I wanted to use a snowman – because snowmen are pretty easy to color – so you
could make multiples of this card very easily.
The paper is from We R Memory Keepers. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts. The snowman is from Whipper Snapper Stamps colored with Copics - (did you know Whipper Snapper Stamps is a Wisconsin company).
Here is the basic sketch for my card.
Now I want you to continue on your journey to visit Karina.
I hope you enjoy your creative hop. Remember to leave comments along the way – I hear
there could be prizes.
Sweet card! Love that sentiment! TFS!!!
