OWH Midweek Throwdown Sentiment Free

Operation Write Home's Midweek Throwdown is asking for cards that are sentiment free this week.  Last July I attended a rubber stamp show in Colorado Springs and got this neat "Poultry Party" stamp set and a great "Poultry Party" collage pack from Tweety Jill.  I had forgotten about it until Graphic 45 started showing their new "French Country" papers.  So my stamp and collage set is certainly up with the current craze!

The background paper is from a 6x6 paper pack from FarmHouse Paper Company "Sugar Hill Paper Pad."
Other stamps used:  sunflower stamp is an old one from StampinUp!  The French Railway stamp is from the Stampington and Company Time set.

Happy Crafting!

OWH Thinking of You Challenge

Operation Write Home (OWH) Stars and Stamps is having a Thinking of You challenge.  In response to one of our troops asking for "brown" cards I created this steampunk "brown" card.

The card base is Stampin'Up! Crumb Cake.  The background is Tim Holtz Kraft Resist paper with Broken China Distress Stain.  The top set of stamps are "Time" from Stampington&Co.  The clock and sentiment are from the Operation Write Home Hero Arts set.  I inked the edges of the card with Antique Linen Distressed Ink.  The brad is from Oriental Trading Company.

Here is another "brown" card I made for Operation Write Home.

The background is stamped with Adirondak Paint Dabber in brown using the Stampin'Up! Belle Toile stamp (retired) and a Glitz stamp for the script.  The flowers are from Creative Memories new Power Pallet called Divine.  Ribbon is Stampin'Up! Very Vanilla as is the cardstock.  Sentiment is from Hero Arts Operation Write Home set.  Bling is from Creative Charms.

Happy Crafting!
