I found a little bit of time to craft on Saturday and was inspired by all the wonderful patriotic cards that I saw on the Operation Write Home (OWH) blog hop. I decided to make a card to put in my box to send to OWH.
This cute teddy bear is from the “Sending you Luv” digi stamp set from Whimsy & Stars Studio. I decided to keep my card relatively flat and easy to mail so that it would be easier for the OWH recipient to mail it.
I printed this teddy 3 times. I colored the first one all except for the heart. On the 2nd one, I cut out the heart (outside the edges of the heart), covered it with washi tape and then trimmed it right outside the lines. I also used my thickest embossing stylist on the back side to give it some dimension. On the final copy, I colored his paws, cut them out and layered them on the heart.
Thank you to every one to every one who has served our country. I am thinking of those we have lost and their families today.
Happy Memorial Day! Thank you for stopping by!
