OWH-You rock

I have 12 rock cards made. Today I will post 3 of them. I used a DCWV paper pad that Angela gave me this last weekend. I thought they were nice and masculine and suitable for teens and adults. I embossed the guitar on the first 2 cards.

OWH-Flower cards

Very feminine cards today. The card with the multicolored background and the purple background were made with stickers. The "Lucky to be loved by you" digital word art is from TLC. On that card I took some very old flowers from K&CO. I think and covered the flowers in Diamond Glaze. They look very rich in real life. I popped up the large one to overlap the smaller one.

OWH- songbird

Just a quick post today. I want to get busy on some card making. This is a stamped card using a design from a previous card I made. That makes it easy. Again, I used scraps. I made 2 cards with this paper and I plan on making some more with other paper.

Angela brought me some more paper and I am anxious to use some of it, in particular some paper with guitars. It is black with silver guitars. Should make perfect masculine Valentines for OWH.

Birthday girl

This card will be for my granddaughter Charmaine. She will be 26 in a week. The paper and flower are Prima. I don't need paper but I fell in love with this. It is double sided and from the Fairy Flora collection. I bought 5 different sheets from the line. No, I didn't make the flower. They were 6 in a pack for $5. The flowers are made from the same paper. The digital image is Hope Jacare colored with Copics. I did a little stamping and added some Swarovski crystals for bling.

OWH-Cosmo Cricket leftovers

More old paper and punch outs that matched the paper from 2007. I have some more punch outs so I will be using those up. I used an edge distress-er on all of the cards. I used Diamond Glaze on the heart and the center of the card with the open heart. The separate center button on three of the cards is popped up. Found some nice looking twine and leather look cording in the jewelry department at Ben Franklin. The twine was white so I soaked it in coffee which I always have in the pot. Tried to keep the cards looking at least a little masculine. Maybe I will have to get John's opinion on that. lol

OWH-Hello to you

I made five cards with this design and paper. Again, very old paper. The acrylic flowers were a purchase from long ago from Michaels $ bin. Looks like they were made to go with this paper! The digital sentiment is from TLC.

OWH-Valentines with stickers.

I have had these Penny Black valentine stickers forever. The package says they were put out in 2006. In making these cards for OWH I have been trying to use my stash. It is fun using scraps of paper but I admit I did buy 4 sheets just to use for valentines. I also bought some lace trim.

OWH-Here's a big hug.

I finished six of these cards today. When I scanned I couldn't get the color corrected on the image. The girl is actually quite pink. Well, in this image she is a girl! So very pink. I may do some in greens or blues that aren't girly. I colored with Copics. Did the eyes and teeth with Diamond Glaze, the spots I went over with a Sakura Glaze pen. The digital image is Hope Jacare.

OWH-Kiss, a jumper cable for the heart

I did eight cards with this design with minor variations of trim. The word art is from TLC. The heart is a Sizzix die. On this card the center of the flower was a brown metal dot by Colorbok. I colored it with a dark red Copic marker. I love the marbled look the marker gave it. The heart (from Peggy) was red but the wrong shade so I colored with H2Os and now they are nice and shiny. These cards will arrive at their destination in time for Valentines Day.

OWH-Frogs Rule!

Moving right along with cards for Operation Write Home. The What's "hop"pening card was made with a dimensional frog sticker. His feet look a little fragile, like they might get bent if not handled gently. I may just keep and send to a grandson. The other card was made with super old Basic Grey frog paper. Thank goodness it is the last of this ugly paper. I added blue Sakura crystal lacquer to the spots on his body so he does look pretty cute. The fly paper is from a pad of K&Co. The only sheet I had. My Candice shared with me. The digital sentiment is from TLC. She makes such unusual word art.
