ODBD November Challenge & OWH Sketch #145

ODBD November Challenge

This month the challenge is to dust off a rarely used tool or technique and use it on your card.

I watched a video tutorial a while ago to learn the straw blowing technique.  It was interesting but didn't try until today.  I used my watercolor ink refills (SU 2012 In-colors).  Every piece of paer turned out differently depending on blowing.  Whew... it was a bit of challenge for me.

To try this technique, you will need a glossy paper, watercolor ink refills, a straw and a Klenex tissue.

This was my first attempt on to a whole sized (8.5" x 11") card stock.  I was ambitious.

Next, I cut a card stock into 4 pieces and it was easier to play with.

 

 Here is a completed card and three more to go based on the OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #145 for this week.

HEARTFELT



From the card kits donated  by Selene & friends, I made the first sample card for OWH Cardmaking Party, Sunday, November 11, 2012. 

 

I used my stamp set - Layered Labels.  For the centiment in the middle, I stamped the image separately and cut out by hand.

 

I need to make four more sample cards.  I will keep them posted.

OWH Cardmaking Session With Girl Scout Troop 4151

I was so excited to meet with the gilrs in person who have been sending me Any Hero mails for OWH.  Deborah K. is Co-Leader of the Girl Scout Troop 4151, Northern California who has been organizing this event for us.  Thanks to Heidi, Deborah's daughter, who provided her home for our session.  We had eight girls and two adults.  Susan, my personal hero, Air Force Vet., helped me to make it happen. Susan and I made 50 card kits to cover one card for heroes to write back home, one card for Any Heroes with messages and one card for make and take. They are so excited and enjoyed making cards for the heroes.  Writing thank you messages to heroes seemed to be very natural for them as I was watching.  So impressive.

This is a Any Hero card that I cased based on the OWH Scketch #142. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches that turned out perfect as I combined two sentiments in a circle.  This will be an entry to ODBD October Challenge, too.  Oh, I love this card.

More cards to add to a box of OWH cards

I made more cards to add to a box of OWH cards while I have been taking care of my husband who had his knee surgery four days ago.  He is recovering gradually.  Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for him and myself. 

Here I hope you will enjoy my cards.
