Making sketches from the OWH List

           Operation Write Home had a big blog hop on Memorial Day Weekend and all the entries used the OWH sketches. There are 120+ sketches on the OWH blog. Some of the participating blogs used the same sketches but all of the cards looked so differently. I generally just make my cards as I go and I haven't used many sketches. But my personal challenge for the summer break is to see how many sketches I can use to make a boxful of cards for OWH.

To see the OWH sketches, go here. http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/p/owh-sketch-collection.html

Now, here's my first cards, using the sketches.

 I used Sketch #1 first. I had this paper with the letters in my school collection .

A bit of orange ribbon from Joann's hid the seam of the 2 papers.

 I had a jar of orange Got Flowers and 

put little gold pearls on the flowers for a bit of bling. 

I love the freebie sentiment I picked up from Create with TLC

 ( http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/. ) a bit ago.

I had purchased a new teddy bear stamp from Stamper's Best 

(  https://www.stampersbest.com/  ) and had to use it. 

I punched the scalloped circles and then stamped the image (bear & flower). 

I used colored pencils on the image. The sentiment and tiny flower are from 2 word sets of

 Riley & Co. ( http://www.rileyandcompanyonline.com/word_sets ).

 The paper was in my paper stash. 

I cut the two design papers in 3 3/4" by 5" then cut them diagonally in half. 

When I put the two triangles on the card base,

 I could leave a bit of room between the triangles and it looks like a ribbon.

 Two sketches down. And 120 more to go.

Time to go pick another sketch or 2 from the OWH site. Later.
