FOR A LIST OF PARTICIPANTS TO VISIT IN OWH's BLOGHOP.

For participating in the OWH Cardmaking Bloghop I chose a sketch from Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge, #403 to  be exact.  Here it is...

Unfortunately, I didn't quite read all the instructions & didn't make a card following a wintery or holiday theme. *OOPS!*  That being said, here is my birthday card using the sketch:

Took the sketch, but not too literal... added some ribbon & placed the image apart from the original placement in the sketch.  The pattern paper is from Basic Grey's Green at Heart paper pad, & paired with turquoise cardstock.  The image is from Tiddly Inks... Big Wishes Bean & the sentiment is from my stash of clear stamps.

Here's a closer look at the adorable image I colored using my Copics, & accented it a bit on the candles. The accent dimension came courtesy Matte Finish from Ranger Inkessentials.

Today, while it's World Cardmaking Day... it also would have been my father's 89 birthday.  A former Marine who served in WWII, so when I think of today... it's always about my father. I think it's because of his service that I am so honored to participate in OWH.  Making these cards is my way of saying "Thank You."

Proud to be a part of this bloghop... enjoy the rest of all the wonderful cards being shared this weekend!
