Hi everyone!! I'm excited to be joining in on the Operation Write Hope Memorial Day Bloghop for the first time!! Thank you so much to the men and women that serve/have served our country and the sacrifices you make every day.
For my first card I chose sketch #29:
Here is my version:
I love this super cute Party Koala image for the birthday theme. It was a lot of fun to use the red white and blue theme on this card. I went around the inside lines of the Koala with my Copic W1 and the outisde with my B000 copic. I added Glossy Accents to the balloons and White Opal Liquid Pearls to the dots on the party hat.
For my second card I used sketch #9:
Here is my version:
I hope you are enjoying the hop, thanks so much for joining us!!
For my second card I used sketch #9:
As soon as I saw this Kitschy Kitchen set I had to have it, it is going to make so many fun love cards for our heroes! These salt and pepper shaker and the sentiment are my favorite from the set.
I hope you are enjoying the hop, thanks so much for joining us!!
These are darling!! Love the little dog!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the embossing, the critter and the sequins on the first card and the cute stamp/sentiment combo and the amazing job of layering on the second.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are sweet but the party dog is super special. Love your finishing touches..they add so much to a card.
ReplyDeleteThese are precious! I like the simplicity.
ReplyDeleteJust awesome cards! So clean and nice.
ReplyDeleteTwo awesome cards...the first is particularly stunning! Love the pops of colors and all the details! WTG!!!
ReplyDeleteThat koala card is super darling! Love the patriotic colors, and those sequins!!
ReplyDeleteI love both, but especially the first. I would never have thought to use white on white with an embossed piece as one element of the sketch. The RWB coloring just pops, and the koala bear is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat precious cards! I love the sweetness and whimsy of them!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so sweet and of course, coming from you so well done. So glad you are an OWH supporter.
ReplyDeleteGreat card and thanks for supporting OWH!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie that Party Koala is! Love the pops of red and blue and those sequins. I love the way the small images are contained in the second card's layout. Very cool use of the die for the crosspiece.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute image! I also like the sequins, it make the card pop.
ReplyDeleteLike all the layering on the second card, it's really cute!
ReplyDeleteLove how you colored the koala, adding just a little of the red & blue as accents. Embossed panel is a great textural element.

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are super cute...but I am liking the first a bit more...I have not seen that Koala before and think I want him! :)
ReplyDeleteHe is a great example of just dabs of color on a white bkgrd...terrific
Thanks for making and sharing!
i love them both! Cute koala and great "bling" on #1, and especially like the embossed part instead of an additional panel. #2 is darling--so cute with those hearts and the outlines within the larger rectangle.
ReplyDeleteLove both of your cards! Great use of dry embossing to add texture on half of your first card.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love these cards! The doggie is adorable! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe koala card is very cute. I like that the card is simple white and the way you added the blue and red.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! That party dog is "to die for", but I also like the S&P one, too. TFS
ReplyDeleteI like the salt and Pepper card
ReplyDeleteLove how you partially textured the white layer in the first card. Great idea!! Thanks for supporting OWH!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are adorable but the koala is just so cute! Love the sequins on the first and the hearts on the second.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards...just love that little koala!
ReplyDeleteYou've stepped out of the typical patriotic theme of using red, white and blue with these two fun cards! I especially love the white-on-white with the embossing on the koala birthday card.
ReplyDeleteLove the layout for the first one and the embossed piece!
