Hi girlies! Well it is Monday again and I am starting my day with blogging and a cup of coffee. Just can’t seem to get motivated yet.
Over at Operation Write Home*, the current card drive, Duty.Honor.Cards is underway. At least 5% of our cards need to be AnyHero cards, so I have a couple of posts that focus specifically on our heroes!
In addition to the OWH card drive, I am still trying to hone my CAS skills so in keeping with CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week, I used vellum on this card.
The sentiment, from Verve’s American Hero set, is stamped on vellum and then framed by a Spellbinders Classic Square frame.
The Band of Brother’s is stamped in Stamp School’s Wild Cherry. This stamp elicits so many emotions from me every single time I see it. It is one of my favorite patriotic stamps and is made by Stamper’s Best. It is one of their OWH fundraiser stamps and features selected deep etch rubber art made especially to assist the fundraising efforts of OWH. They donate $1 to Operation Write Home for each stamp sold that is designated with the OWH logo icon!!
Papers are from Recollections and ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
This is another OWH Fundraiser stamp from Stamper’s Best. Please be sure to check out the fundraiser stamps after you leave comments for me. The only thing that could make an AnyHero card any better would be to actually give that hero a big hug too! We would love to have you join us as OWH and send some love to these brave men and women.
THIS CARD QUALIFIES FOR:
CAS-ual Fridays CFC57
I also made this card for:
Mynnette’s Spread the L-O-V-E challenge:
*Operation Write Home: Supporting our nation's armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.

This is a thought provoking card!
Hi, Ellen! Another fabulous card--LOVE the way you used the acetate! And I really love when you use that sentiment! Fabulous card!!! :)
What a wonderful tribute card to the forces! I just love the way you used the vellum on the front and the the quote on the inside is oh so true.
Thanks for joining in the fun at CASual Fridays this week :0)
