"Operation Write Home" is an awesome organization that sends blank handmade cards to our deployed military to write on and send home to their family & friends.

They are our amazing HEROES who risk their lives daily for our freedom!! This is something we can do to say "Thank You" for all that they do for us!! You can also create cards FOR the heroes and write encouraging notes for them!! :)

I hope you'll consider making cards for them too!!

 
God bless & big hugs...

"Cherry on Top" Girly Card for OWH


This week’s Operation Write Home "Midweek Throwdown Challenge" is to make cards for kids and include scallops for our heroes to send home to their family and friends!

This is my 2nd card for the challenge... after making a "Teen Guy" card... I decided to also make a "Girly Girl" Card!!

I hope this card puts a smile on a "Sweet" little girl's face hearing from her deployed hero!! :)

Border Punch is by Martha Stewart called "Vintage Floral"
Cherry Paper is from the "Sweet" Mat Stack by DCWV
Ribbon was from Michael's a while back
Hot Fix Rhinestones were added to the border
Font is called "SNF Party Script"

The adorable image is from "Elisabeth Bell" called "Sweet Sundae"

I colored her in with Copic Markers

The "Silver Spoon" was filled in using the paint from a "Chrome Silver Pearl Pen" & a toothpick!!

The "Sundae Glass" was filled in using a lot of Glossy Accents to give it a glassy 3D effect.

I love the digi image from "Spesch Designer Stamps" called "Goth boy with ring".

I covered the skull on his shirt with black ink & one of the stars from the background paper.
