Sending you smiles-PDCC and OWH


Ok, this is the first card I made for this challenge at The Play Date Cafe Challenge 97.  Sorry for the lengthy post...I went a little crazy with the Black and White with a splash of red!


The door image is from Scroll Works and the wreath is from Skipping Stones Design.
The sketch for the first card was also inspired by Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Birthday Bash Challenge-Day 2.  For those of you who are not familiar with OWH, it is an organization dedicated to making homemade cards and shipping them to service men and women so they can send them home to their loved ones.



And this card reminded me of the cupcake tower in the inspiration photo.
And I couldn't resist using the black and white for the shaggy dog and the fire hydrant for the splash of red!

So tell me, which is your favorite?

  3. Beautiful cards, Barb! Can't decide which one I like best! Did my email reach you? I got an error a few days after I sent you one! I just wanted to say that your card was sent shortly after Heather gave me your address! I hope it'll arrive every day! Hugs, Vanessa x
