Operation Write Home Memorial Day Bloghop

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!  

Have a blessed Memorial Day weekend!

Our Daily Bread May and Inkspirational #18 Challenge

Happy National Scrapbook Day!  The folks over at Operation Write Home are being Rebellious and making cards instead!  LOL  The first challenge of their Virtual Card Making Party is to make a card for the Our Daily Bread May Challenge -- Missing you cards.  I combined this with the Inkspirational Blog Color Challenge #18 of Grape, Olive and Peach.    (My cardstock looks blue in the background but it really is purple)

This is a gorgeous triadic color combination!  In looking through my Pinterest Inspiration Board I came across a card from Sandy Allnock that she made for the Interactive Cardmaking Project (ICP).  Mine doesn't look quite like the original sketch (neither did Sandy's!)  If you want to try the ICP GO HERE and follow along to CBABA to see Sandy's card and play along in the ICP.  The paper is Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue.  Stamp is TPC studios.  Ribbon is American Crafts.

Happy Crafting!
