Operation Mars

A few days back, a picture was posted on the OWH facebook page of 3 children holding OWH cards that they had received from a parent overseas. Great picture, no doubt, and it definitely tugged at the heartstrings.  What it made me realize is how few (if any) cards I have made that are geared towards children.  So, tonight I worked on making OWH sketch challenge 106 kid friendly. 
And yes, once again I have strayed some from the original sketch.  But hey, its for the children, right?! LOL.

As you can see, I have rotated the sketch.  The stamp is a new one that I inked up for the first time from Sweet N Sassy stamps.  I paper pieced this space ship.  The card base is SU Night of Navy and the moon is Barely Banana embossed with a cuttlebug e.f.  The card edge was cut with the new edgelits and embossed with the new matching embosslits from SU.  
The only thing I wish I could change on this card is the sentiment- I really wish I had one that said "You are out of this world!"  
Thanks for stopping by!

  4. Hi, Lee Ann,

    I adore this card! Your color choices, textures, and layout have created a card that a little one will love getting! I absolutely know what you mean about looking at those little faces and realizing how few cards I've sent to OWH for kids.

    I also know what you mean about not having just the right stamp. I've taken to printing sentiments with our home computer printer and have had quite a bit of luck.

    Thanks for sharing -- and thanks for participating in this week's sketch challenge!
