OWH VCMP Challenge 5 Colorful background and 6 Winter/Christmas Card

Challenge 5 was to make a colorful background.   http://operationwritehome.org/vcmp-master-list/
I knew I wanted to use this tiger stamp (Hero Arts from Michaels?)
I stamped my distress pads on my craft mat and spritzed with water and dragged my cardstock through it.  Then I made a more muted piece for the Tiger stamp and added more color.

Challenge 6 was to make a Christmas card and then a seasonal card that could be used all winter long.  The reindeer on the left is a $1 set.  The Cardinals on the right is a new Impression Obsession stamp that I just love (words are from SU).  Cardinals By the Window  I just got the stamp from my LSS PhotoScraps in Elderburg, MD. PhotoScraps
Colored with Copics R39, W3. Lace Tape from SU.

I was going to use the Cardinals for my own Holiday card this year but my daughter actually prefers the Reindeer one!

OWH VCMP Challenge 3 Paper Piece and 4 RWB birthday

Challenge 3 was to use paper piecing and make a card for kids.  http://operationwritehome.org/vcmp-master-list/
Not my favorite activity - don't really like to fussy cut.  This is an old cuttlebug die and matching embossing folder.  I pieced the dress and shoes and colored the rest.

Challenge 4 was to make a Red, White and Blue birthday card.

One in pink with flowers and one in greens and grays.  The paper is from SU.

 

 

 

The 2nd challenge was to make a Thank You card.  I just got this Koi die as part of a Sea creatures set from Ellentina with Tessler stamps when I saw them at the Scrapbook Expo show in Dulles. Ellentina dies with Tessler Stamps. I wanted to buy all of her beautiful dies but managed to only get the show special of 5!

OWH Our Daily Bread July Challenge - Wings

The July OWH challenge from Our Daily Bread is Things with Wings. OWH Our Daily Bread July Challenge
This is a dimensional card kit from Flower Soft. It comes with the three layers printed and you just cut them out and adhere and add Flower Soft.  I made sure this Flower Soft does not contain glitter.

OWH Anyhero Flag card

This is my post for the OWH mid-week throwdown  OWH Anyhero flag card .

I don't have any flag stamps so I made this using ink pads and copic.

 

 

Then I realized I did have a stamp with a flag on it.  An old SU set called Courage. It was hand colored with markers and then stamped on glossy cardstock.

Happy Hoppers Easter card

This is one of my Easter cards.  The stamp is called Reading Rabbits by Stampendous.  They have come out with some really great rabbits, bears and mice!
It is colored with Copics and then I used some chalk for the grass and sky.  The striped paper is from DCWV.

Here is a card using a very cute digi and digi background paper from Doodlepantry called Umbrella Ants. Next time I use this digi I am going to make the image larger because it's so cute!  http://doodlepantryblog.blogspot.com/
