Happy Monday Everyone,We got socked with a ton of snow last night. It is definitely still very much winter here. So, I was very intrigued by the DeNami Color Challenge. It is a very bright and cheery combination. Kind of Springy too. Navy, Lime, and White. You have to use a DeNami stamp too. I used my new Mimi scooter stamp (DeNami). I also decided that I needed to get started on some cards for Operation Write Home. They posted this nice sketch yesterday which I used to make my card.
Mimi and the scooter are paper pieced. I punched the circle and had to hand cut the Night of Navy (Stampin' Up) circle. I added a birthday sentiment from Stampin' Up. Accents are a wide, sheer white ribbon and some pearl stickers. Here is a close up so you can see the paper piecing. 
The Lime green CS I pieced for the scooter and the green DP for her outfit are from DCWV. Markers were used on the face, hair, and tires. 
Since this will be going to Operation Write Home, I will leave it blank on the inside. The cards are sent to Military personal and they use them to write home. Well, I have one card done. About 30 more to go. I will make up a bunch and ship them off to OWH. They take care of the rest. Hope my springy colors brightened your day. Love ya,Karen
Very cute & you've officially inspired me to make a few for OWH too ;)
