Operation Write Home Sketch Sunday #195

Happy Sunday everyone!  A quick post and then onto some football, the Denver Broncos, that is!  Well, back to card making.  If this is your first time to my humble blog, I am an Army mom and I craft handmade greeting cards for Operation Write Home.  OWH sends our blank cards to our deployed military so they can keep in touch with friends and family.   OWH inspires and challenges us with lots of great ideas and really cool card sketches to follow.

This week's weekly sketch is another fabulous one, perfect for rectangular stamps or digi sentiments.  A couple weeks back, I was inspired by a card by Pam over Airbornewifestamping.blogspot.com.  She had seen a card by someone else, that featured this really cool Patriotic Subway Art stamp.  Well, not to break the "keep it going forward" good luck, I went out and bought the stamp as well.  Here's my take on the sketch, best wishes for a great week.



Stamp:  Patriotic Subway Art by Stampabilities (Hobby Lobby)
DP:  Stars - Paper Studio
        Stripe - Graphic 45
Twine:  Recollections
Punches:  Marvy Uchida, Paper Studio, Martha Stewart

  7. That's such a super stamp! I almost bought it when I saw Pam's. But I probably have too many stamps already. (Said no cardmaker ever, lol.) Your paper choices are wonderful and I LOVE that embellishment!!
