VCMP for OWH, Challenges #1, 2, and 3

      It's another day of card creating here.  I decided to hop on the band wagon and join in on the Virtual Card Making Party over at Operation Write Home's Stars and Stamps Blog.  I won't do a bunch of chatter, to keep the post shorter.  Just want to say that I already did Challenge #6, so I am skipping around.

     Challenge #1 is brought to us by Angie from ODBD, and she asks us to use Scripture or an uplifting sentiment.  The papers are all from my scrap bin, with a red card base.  The stamps are from 2 different sets of Clear Dollar Stamps, LLC.  Coloring  is done with Copics, and sponging with So Saffron SU! ink.

     Challenge #2 was given to us from Cherie, and is a recipe challenge.  We are to use one stamped image, two  patterned papers, and three words.  My stamped image is from Clear Dollar Stamps, LLC and the set is Spirograph, stamped in Memento London Fog.  My two pattern papers are from Basic Grey, Plumeria.  The sentiment is also Clear Dollar.  Card base is Moonlit Fog PL, from Gina K. Designs.  The little domed bird, is from K&Co.

     Challenge #3 is hosted by Cindy, and we are asked to use snowflakes, but not Christmas.  I started with inking my Sizzix EF with Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder inks.  My sentiment is a wood mount that says Validated copyright 1996.  My Eskimo and igloo stamps are unmounted and unknown.  Coloring is with Copics, and I added some crystal snowflakes & gems as embellishments.  (parka matches background, but photographed blue)

     Like I said in a previous post, I am very new at doing the OWH challenges.  Hope what I have made is okay.  Not sure I will get all of the challenges completed, but it is fun trying!  It will be so exciting to send my own package of cards, and not pest my friend to add them to hers.
