Simple Washi Tape Bunny Stripes

Simple Washi Tape Bunny Stripes

bunnystripesThis week’s Operation Write Home Throwdown Challenge is all about the background. They dared us to use our scraps to create a cute background for a simple image card, but I kind of bent the rules a bit. I’ve been wanting to try out some washi tape I’ve had lying around my craft room for some time now, so I used it instead of paper to create the backdrop for my cute little Easter card.

After the background was complete, I used a bunny stamp and StazOn ink to create a simple black contrast on the front of my card. I did have to color over the bunny image with a permanent black marker to get the coverage I desired, but it turned out pretty cute (even up close).

A Little Outdoor Grunge for the Guys

A Little Outdoor Grunge for the Guys

OWH212Operation Write Home is sporting a cute little sketch this week and I decided to go manly for my challenge card. I used papers from The Paper Loft’s Huckleberry Pond collection, because nothing says “I’m a guy” better than a little outdoor grunge. I stayed pretty true to the sketch but added a little “miss you” tag to the front along with my stitching and raffia. I also roughed up all the edges, added some ink stain and crumpled my horizontal strip within an inch of life to add a nice comfortable worn look. I hope you like!

All About Easter Greetings

All About Easter Greetings

OWHEaster2014This week’s Operation Write Home challenge is all about Easter, and for some reason I had a bit of difficulty with this one. I don’t think I’ve actually ever created an Easter card in my life. . . How is that possible? But I’m happy to say that with a couple of attempts I’m now over that hurdle thanks to K & Company’s Susan Winget Designer Mat Pad. This whole paper collection looks like Spring, so by adding a ”Happy Easter” stamped banner, some punched flowers and liquid pearls I came up with a quick and easy greeting. I hope you like (even if it’s only mid-winter).
