Thanks for Making the World a Better Place

I sat down yesterday and finally got a box together for Operation Write Home. It had been way too long since I last donated and the cards have been piling up - 55 of them actually! While getting them ready to ship I noticed yet again that I don't make enough masculine cards.

I created this particular card for "any hero". I love to make these but I admit to not knowing what to write inside and just usually wind up rambling on about a whole lot of nothing. I stamped The Cat's Pajamas's Take off image onto Copics X-Press It cardstock and then cut it out with Spellbinders Nestabilities allowing the ears to flop outside of the circle. After coloring with Copic markers, I paired it up with a Verve sentiment and some October 5 and Dime patterned paper (love this 8x8 pad). I followed this week's Mojo Monday sketch for the layout.


Products: The Cat's Pajamas stamp and CutUps, Verve sentiment, October Afternoon and Jenni Bowlin dp, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Copic Markers
Copics: Bunny-E510, E51, E53; Helmet-N1, N5, N7; Goggles/Airplane Wings/Trim-R24, R27, R29; Airplane-C00C1, C3, C5
 
I hope you are surviving the heat wave. Have a great weekend.
