OPERATION WRITE HOME - Sketch Challenge #211

Today's Sketch #211 at Operation Write Home Blog, Stars and Stamps is a very simple one. I have several ideas that I will try using this basic layout.

They are predicting some winter weather for us again this week.  Yesterday was like a spring day reaching the lower 60's.  By tomorrow evening, or Tuesday morning, we are supposed to have some frozen precipitation.  It is too early for the 'experts' to call what form the precipitation will fall. It is a big deal for those of us in the south.

So .... in pursuit of spring, I decided to make a spring card featuring a cute bunny die cut.

Some bunny loves you

Die cut image: Imaginisce Die Cut package #003763  (picked this up at a local $1 store !)

Pattern paper: Paper Studio Mirabelle Plaid

Card Stock:  Scraps from my stash

Embossing folder: Darice Basket Weave (5x7)

Sentiment:   I created the sentiment attempting to copy one that  I had downloaded on line quite a while back but could no longer find in my computer files. The fonts are not exactly the same, but they work.

OWH CARD BOWL CHALLENGE #2 - Sports Shaped Cards

The OWH CARD BOWL Challenge for Saturday is sponsored by Our Daily Bread Designs. Based on the number of cards entered, ODBD will fund the shipping charges of some OWH Cards sent to the deployed Heroes.

The challenge is to make a masculine card using brown as the main color.

I made this shaped card using a Football Cut File from Silhouette.  I created the shaped card base using the main football shape and duplicating it twice; inserting a small rectangle between the two football shapes and welding them.

I used the same technique for all of these sports shaped cards.

I kept the size of all of these cards under the A2 size so they are definitely going in the box to OWH.

OWH Card Bowl - Football Smile

Card #2 for OWH CARD BOWL 2014 for a masculine card reflecting the Broncos or Seahawks.

Football Smile

 The image is from Dearie Dolls that I downloaded some time ago. I colored this image with Copics Sketch Markers.  The sentiment is from a Hampton Art all occasion sentiment stamp set #SC0473.

Isn't he a cutie?  I hope that he is still smiling on Sunday night.
