World Card Making Day - THANK YOU

Welcome my Operation Write Home friends.  My THANK YOU cards are based on an OWH Mid-Week Throwdown from Pam.  I liked the clean lined simplicity of Pam's cards, plus her tips on making multiples.  I chose colorful papers from Graphic 45's Typography Collection. 
 I wanted to use each of my (3) Thank You stamps for this special day.  Here I used fall colors with Pam's design and Graphic 45's Communique papers. 
 
You OWH gals are all about the stamping and coloring...not a strong skill for me.  With this flower stamp I got busy with Copics and Sharpies.  The papers are from My Minds Eye Bramble Rose 6"x6" pad, using sketch #188.  THANK YOU Operation Write Home for giving me an opportunity to show a little humble gratitude for those who fight for my freedom.  Oorah!

I am not one of those coloring OWHers. LOL I need lots and lots of practice and so I avoid it most of the time. My favorite is the second one really like the paper on the third. Great job!

These are all great but I think #3 is my fave! Love that vertical sentiment and the woodgrain paper! Happy WCMD!

I'm with the others - the gold embossing is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing these.

While I like to stamp and coloring I think it's also fun to create cards with a simple sentiment and some pretty papers and like you've done... using some embossing powder or a few embellishments can also add a nice touch. With so many wonderful supplies these days you have so many great choices even of you never want to color. :) Thanks for joining in the hop today and supporting OWH!

Beautiful cards! I'm not a colorer. Don't get me wrong...I get a throwback wild hair and bring out the coloring books and crayons...but I'm not brave enough (or can afford to) try copics. Thanks for supporting OWH and Happy WCMD!

Great papers for this set of thank you cards.

Those are such lovely papers! Aren't the OWH blog posts so inspiring?? Looking at all of the other stuff people create makes me want to go make things, too!

Great coloring on your card with the flowers. What a great variety of thank you cards. April

Rufus said...

Love the thank you with swirls in the first one, and the papers in the second and third ones. Bet these get snapped up fast by our Heroes! The first two cards are proof that you don't have to color to create fantastic cards!

Beautiful work - loved them all.

Beautiful! I love the vintage feel and like the rest, I love the gold embossing!
