SRM Stickers has teamed up with Operation Write Home for a card sketch challenge! Here's a little bit about Operation Write Home...
Operation Write Home began in 2007 with just a few cards made by friends on a message board; what began as an outlet for a hobby has become a much larger mission to help heroes keep in touch with home - and the effort has been joined by thousands of cardmakers!
OWH receives handmade cards donated by crafters across America (and beyond!). Cardmakers range in age, location, and level of skill; cards are provided by individuals and groups, schools and scouts, companies and churches. All have one primary thing in common: a desire to serve those who defend our nation!
Cards are mailed to one of our volunteer shippers in quanities both small and large. The shippers process, sort, repair, and document each donation, and then pack and ship boxes of over 300 cards each to our contacts. Our heroes request cards (families may also request on their behalf; we serve all branches in all deployed locations.
Here's the sketch that Jenyfur provided...
... and here is what I created with it...
Loving the new brown & white sentiments... a nice alternative to black! The brown stickers on my card came from the new Hello sticker sheet...
You have until September 30 to create a card based on the sketch & leave your link here for a chance to win an SRM prize package full of NEW SRM Stickers! What a GREAT way to use your talent & creativity to help others!
I love your card, love the birdie and the flower!! Never had heard of OWH but it's wonderfull!!!

What a cool project Operation Write Home is! You did a fab job with the sketch. I like the stitches you added to the side. Is that a sticker too? :)
