Welcome to the Operation Write Home Memorial Blog Hop the biggest and best bloghop on the web. If you started here and want to go to all the blogs in the hop, click on the photo above to go to the OWH Stars and Stamps page for the bloghop.
The theme of the bloghop is to make a "Thank You" card using one of the OWH sketches. You can view all the OWH card sketches HERE if you would like to use them in the future. My card uses OWH Sketch #161 (turned on its side). I wanted to make a more masculine Thank You card.
Products Used:
DSP: Authentique Genuine "Forever" and "Friendship" and 6x6 Bundle
Stamp Set: Dare2B Artzy "Thinking of You"
Ribbon: American Crafts
Creative Memories Tag Punch (retired)
Sizzix Stars #2 Die
Ink: Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Faded Jeans
Marvy Uchida Extra Fine Deco Color Liquid Gold Opaque Paint Marker (which somehow made a gold spot on my new jeans) (the things we put up with for our art!)
Hop on back to the OWH Bloghop Post to see all the other blog participants!

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you for your service to our country. I am humbled by it. Second, I had to go on a hunt for these papers. They are extraordinarily detailed and versatile. Who doesn't like denim, after all? Your card would make Authentique proud. I'm hoping zig-zags never go out of style. The bright goldish-yellow on the layered tag provides just the right amount of pop. Thanks for your support of OWH and participating in the hop.
ReplyDeleteLove the handmade quilt look of this card. Beautiful colors and patterns, the 2 large kraft stars balance nicely with the dark blue one and are a nice touch.
