A few OWH Cards

Here are a few cards I've created to fill my OWH box.

Sentiment and owl image is from Hero Arts OWH fundraiser stamp Lil' Hoot and the tree die is from Taylored Expressions.

The Squirrel and sentiment is from Paper Tray Ink 

All feathers are from Wplus9 Fanciful Feathers.

Cards from 6X6 Paper Pad

Confession: I've been a little obsessive about 6X6 paper pads lately.  All the matchey, pretty paper in one little package.  What's not to love?

Using Seongsook's tutorial and templates to work through a We R Memory Keepers Feelin' Groovy paper stack, I created these cards for Operation Write Home.

Sketch 210 and ODBD February Challenge

To finish up Card Bowl 2014, I'm posting the last two cards for the challenge.

The first is for the ODBD Card Challenge for February.  We are to make a card with brown as the primary color and for the Card Bowl it must be masculine. Here's my card, which I used Sketch #201.

I used Ki Memories Metro Garden 6X6 paper, Hero Arts OWH "Dude" fundraiser set and Hero Arts Wet Cement Ink.

For Sketch #210

I decided to go very simple with this.  Again I used Ki Memories Metro Garden 6X6 paper, My Minds Eye enamel dots, the sentiment is from Hero Arts OWH "Year Round Sentiments" fundraiser set and Hero Arts Wet Cement Ink.

OWH Card Bowl 2014

Over at Operation Write Home, Sandy's started the Card Bowl 2014 which runs 3 challenges through the weekend.  Todays' challenge is to create a masculine card that somehow relates to the team that you're cheering for in the Super Bowl.  I'm a college football girl...I root for the SEC and I bleed Red and Black! I'm not a huge NFL fan except for the occasional cheer for the Falcons.  I honestly could give two flips about either of the teams in this years Bowl.  I have decided that I'd choose the Broncos over the Seahawks only because Knowshon Moreno and Champ Bailey are on the team.  And for those still not making a connection....those would be 2 incredible players from the University of (GO DAWGS) Georgia. Granted there is a UGA player on the Seahawks team, but their terrible colors dissuaded me.  

My first instinct was to do a beer mug, but since this card is for OWH, that wouldn't be allowed.  I figured Red and Black (in support of Moreno and Bailey) would be too much of a stretch.  So flipping through my stamps, I came across a Flopsey Fishing set that I won from Sandy.  I figured I could incorporate the Broncos team colors on Flopsey's hat.  As I was coloring, I realized these colors are just to close to those of several UGA rival teams.  I tried to diminish the full effects of the offensive blue/orange combo by dulling it down a bit.  I guess its less offensive.

Still continuing to finish up My Minds Eye Darling Dear paper and Adirondack Mushroom ink for distressing.  I used a distressing tool to to rough up the edges of all the papers. I also got the idea of cutting Flopsey from Googling images and found Nancy Thomas.

Go DAWGS!

OSS Stencil Class Day 2

Another great day of information and tutorials!    Since I've been working and learning to color with colored pencils, I chose to mess around with the "Tracing" technique. Here's what I came up with:

The stencil is from SSS Chevron Pattern and I used Prismacolor Pencils.  The die cut arrow and sentiment are from My Favorite Things Right on Target.
