Card A Day Blog Post: Operation Write Home Any Hero Thank You Card

Here is my second of three entries I'm scheduled for, for the Card A Day Blog, this month. This weeks theme is " Thank You", and I chose to post a card I made for Operation Write Home, to be used as an Any Hero card.

To make my card, I started off with a 5.5 x 4.25 inch white card base, and since I am using it for an Any Hero Card, I usually like to use red, white and blue, so I decided to use a red white and blue striped paper that I had on hand. I cut the striped paper, 5.25 x 4 inches, and adhered it to the front of my card base.

For my embellishment, I decided to combine three different Spellbinder die cuts from three different sets. The first was from the Pecot Edge Circles, I used the second largest, and with my Cuttlebug,  I cut that one out in red. My second layer, I chose The Lacey Circles set, and used the next to the smallest die, and cut that one out in white. For the third cut, I used a die from the Moroccan Motifs set, and I used the next to the smallest die, and cut it out in blue. I stacked my white cut on top of the red one using a pop dot, then added my blue die on top of the white, and added a blue rhinestone to the center, then adhered it to the left side of my card.

For my sentiment, I stamped the words " Thank You" from one of the stamp sets I have, then matted it in blue, and then in white, and attached it to the bottom right side of my card.

Thank you for taking a look at my card, I was really pleased with how it turned out, and plan to make more of them to send with my next OWH shipment.
