I so loved today's sketch that I made a general sentiment card in addition to my normal Sunday-sketch Any Hero card. Both cards share the same palette. In addition, I used the same paper for both backgrounds, but used two types of embossing for the top and bottom portions on both cards.
 |
| Paper Smooches (Group Hugs) sentiment on watercolor paper, heat embossed in Distress Ink Distress Ink core paper; Bazzill black; Sizzix embossing folders Really Reasonable Ribbon; Tombow foam adhesives Spellbinders Nestabillities; Creative Memories circle cutting system |
 |
| Deep Red cling stamps (designed by Sandy), heat embossed in SU white powder Distress Ink core paper, Bazzill black; Paper Smooches ribbon Cuttlebug and Sizzix embossing folders; Tombow foam adhesives |
Thought the first card might be sent from a daddy to his little (tweener) girl back home. Or, maybe it might be sent from one of our female troops to a girlfriend needing a pick-me-up from a good friend.
I took a few liberties with the second card, but stayed with the spirit of the sketch. It is a little atypical for me to make an Any Hero card using nontraditional (non-patriotic) colors, but I like the result.
Parting Thoughts

These are two fabulous cards. I see we both used different types of embossing. GMTA I guess. Love the color scheme on your cards today. Soft and serene looking. I did not know you and Bobbi are starting a blog. I will look for it. Yay for you. Happy New Year.
