Hello! Operation Write Home is hosting a Virtual Card Making Party to celebrate the Labor Day weekend!  It’s full of fun crafty card making challenges.  Links to all the challenges can be found on the OWH Stars and Stamps blog.

For VCMP challenge #1, we’ve been presented with a sketch to follow to create a winter or holiday card.  I used some of my scraps of Christmasy designer paper, inked the edges of them, and mounted them onto textured cardstock to give the card some subtle extra visual interest.  The sketch seemed a little top heavy to me, so I turned it on its side.  For some reason having it “left heavy” doesn’t bother me.  OK, I’m weird.  LOL

Here’s the sketch:

Now I need to get working on the remaining challenges! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by today.
