OWH..... NSD....VCMP... Get it?

    Here are my first two entries for the Virtual Card Making Party, to celebrate National Scrapbook Day, over on the Operation Write Home blog.

 
     My first card is for the monthly challenge that is sponsored by Our Daily Bread, each month.  We have been asked to create a card with a "Missing You" theme.  I used an ODB stamp called The Sea.  I did not have a sentiment by them so I used one from Great Impressions.  I stamped the image with Versafine ink, clear embossed, and colored with Copic marker.  My sky was done with Iced Spruce Distress Ink.  For embellishments, I tattered some burlap, added hemp bows, and a brass boat charm.

 
     Card two is to create a child's card, after we find a sketch to follow.  This card is for an older child, which will bring a hug and a smile. My sketch is from Mojo Monday.  I kind of ran with it (wink).  This card will be linked at Paula's Blog.

 
     I went with bright colors for my base and designer paper.  The sentiment is one of those great kid quote stamps from Inkadinkado.  The hugging dog and kitty are from Stampendous.  I added a tiny sentiment to the animals, and that was from Inky Antics, punched with an SU mini punch.  My only embellishments are brads.

Sure can't wait to see what the next couple of challenges will bring.  This is my first time playing a VCMP!  See you again, soon!

Love that second one too! As cute as can be and the sentiment along with the puppy and kitty is adorable!

Two fantastic cards! That ODBD stamp and sentiment combo is so touching, the coloring is terrific and the burlap and twine is a perfect finishing touch. The kid's card is great... what fun those kids quotes sets are. I think this could cover a wide range of kids, even an older, teen boy (which is one of the hardest categories - at least for me :) Thanks for joining in on my challenge for the VCMP today Mary Anne and I hope you have fun with all the others too.
