Welcome to Operation Write Home's
World Card Making Day bloghop!! :)
I'm new to OWH!!
I received an email from "The Greeting Farm" and Sandy had an awesome copic tutorial for "Soldier Ian". I was awestruck with the image of Ian and real soldiers... and I've been making cards ever since!! :)
(Check out Sandy's YouTube tutorial below)
My passion for creating cards for "Our HEREOS" is to be an encouragement to them as well as inspire them to write home to their family & friends!!
Words cannot convey my deep felt gratitude for all that they do!!!
Since I love 'The Greeting Farm" stamps so much... I thought I'd use the brand new
"Miss Anya Scarves" for my winter card inspiration...
Pearlescent Paper
"Ice White" Pearl Pen for the snow
Martha Stewart "Snowflake" border punch
Snowflakes from the border & other misc. punches
Hot Fix Rhinestones & Applicator
Here's the OWH sketch I used...

Hi Tracy! So glad you found OWH and bring all your creative talent for cardmakers (and heroes) to enjoy! Love your sweet card; great use of the Pearl Pen, love your color choices and the delicate feel of your border and tiny snowflakes really complement the image!!
That's such an adorable card. I love the snowflakes and the bling and all the "snow" and icicles! Great job!
Oooooh I love the Ms Anya scarves stamps!!! I don't own any and would love to try them out. :)
Sooo cute and I love your snow -icicles! Great dies too! You added so much sparkle and without glitter.
Beautiful card, Tracy! Love the use of pearl pen for ice!! My favorite of the candy is the paper - because I'm sure I still don't have enough paper (wink wink)! Thanks for being part of our hop today! ~ Julie, OWH Blog Team :)

Welcome to OWH ! Sweet card full of sparkly details. I'd pick Saluting Luka first since I've nothing like this image - perfect for card making for our troops =)

LOVE the card - the blinged snowflakes and the icicles on the sentiment are fabulous. And thank you for a chance at your blog candy. 1st-Anya, 2nd-Luka, 3rd-paper.
Love the Ms. Anya Scarves. They are cute and I think my grandaughter must have posed for their creator. She looks so much like the third one pictured with the big eyes and straight hair. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
What a clever idea to make those icicles! Fun, wintery card for a teen girl with the pretty pink included. Thanks for hopping with us today!

OMG how adorable! I love that punny sentiment and the image is so darling. The ice cycles across the top are amazing.
