Operation Write Home Blog Skip with Hero Arts

Operation Write Home is an organization that collects cards for our soldiers to send home to family. I admire them greatly, so I am honored to be a part of their birthday “blog skip” (a small hop) today.

I have two cards – both using the OWH stamps from Hero Arts. (A portion of the profits of these stamps go back to support OWH.)

I stamped all the people with Wet Cement Ink… except the one I inked with Tide Pool using a bit of masking. I colored in the heart with a red marker. The hearts are punched from my favorite heart border punch and added with foam dots.

This next one is a super quick one. I did the little inked dots around the stamping (from THIS great set) with a new pencil eraser I stole from my son and some Neon Inks. (Shhhh.) Worked perfectly…

I hope you will consider making cards for Operation Write Home. The guidelines are simple – so easy!

Thanks for stopping by. Next, skip on over to the blog of JoAnn – HERE. (If you want to start at the beginning of the blog skip, head on over HERE.)
