Operation Write Home Memorial Day Bloghop

For HIMCR #150 go here.



All the cards you see today will be sent from soldiers, to their loved ones.  Awesome.  Here is my card:


This year the theme was to use Red, White and Blue with an OWH sketch.  I chose sketch 209:



 On my card I used DCWV and Basic Grey paper, punches, Fiskars sentiment, ink and the George and Basic Shapes cartridge.

Please visit all the others in this hop.  Thanks for stopping by and for all of our troops.

    The inked edges help to "pop" out the ribbon banners. Nice.

    I really like how you've placed a smaller sentiment on the big white panel in this. I need to remember that since I tend to trim them into small pieces. Great interpretation of the sketch. Thanks for joining in the hop and supporting OWH!

    Hi Melanie: This sketch always scares me because it seems to have a lot going on, but you executed it perfectly! I think the white space on the sentiment panel is perfect and keeps the card from looking too busy. Very nice!
