Happy Saturday and happy World Card Making Day! Today I will actually be at home and hope to find some challenges on the net to play along with.
Today's share is a simple (for me) card that I created for Operation Write Home Blog Hop that is happening today. We were to pick one of the OWH Sketches so I picked lucky #77 to work with. You can click on the banner to be taken to a loooong list of people who are playing along. Be sure to stop by and check them out, there will be a ton of inspiration for you.
By the way, somewhere I totally missed that this was supposed to be winter/holiday themed. Oops! I hope you will enjoy my "miss you" card just the same. :)
I used two awesome sets from Paper Smooches for this card. I have to tell you, I think the PS whimsical style is adorable and it just sings to my heart. I used Chubby Chums and Sentiment Sampler. The words "miss you" come from the Sentiment Sampler set and the bird is from the Chubby Chums set. I colored her with some Tombow Dual Brush Pens and the Tombow Blender pen. The print cardstocks are from the October Afternoon Farm Fresh collection, an older collection but still one of my favorites. For Operation Write Home you can't send cards with glitter, so I added some red Sakura Stardust pen to the bottom of Chickie's feet for a little sparkle without the worry of glitter. After all, after she reaches her destination at one of our oh so amazing military bases, she will then be sent home to someone's special chickie and I thought it only fitting that she was outfitted in her best Christian Louboutin shoes, you know the shoes famous for their red soles :) Besides her little feet look like hearts so red was only fitting.
I won't keep you, but be sure to click on the Operation Write Home banner above and check out what the other hoppers have to share.
have a blessed day,

Adorable chick. I can see using this for a Valentine card. Thanks for sharing.
You're in GREAT company... I too didn't realize it was to be for wintery theme cards, so I went for a b'day card. I love yours - very cheerful & Paper Smooches' stamps always makes me smile. TFS!

Adorable chicky.
It may not be a winter themed card, but it's terrific nonetheless! I am such a huge fan of Paper Smooches stamps, you just can't help but smile when you see one of her little guys. Thanks for joining in today's hop.
I knew it was a holiday theme, but I missed the part about using a sketch! I really like your card.
That little chickie so simply adorable! Love the patterned circle layers - great idea. Cute-as-can-be card!
Well I still think its a cute card. All you need was "Have a tweet Christmas" =)Lol. You did a great job on your card and the sentiment is perfect.
OMG How cute! That little chickie is just adorable and looks so spunky on that polka dot paper!
This is adorable, love the chick!

It's a cute card! Love the image and the yellow! I made 3 cards for the hop. LOL. 1) A Christmas card but then I thought it was supposed to be winter only. 2) A winter card but forgot to use a sketch and finally 3) the winter card with a sketch that I posted. Ha, ha.
