Seriously? Paper Smooches Slang Gang

 For these cards I used the Hero Arts Stamp Your Story Brush Strokes stamp set for the paint strokes.  In the card above I used Hero Arts Inks (Pale Tomato, Orange Soda, Butter Bar and Soft Leaf).  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Slang Gang set - which is a great set).  I stamped that in Hero Arts Soft Granite.

This card is the same layout, but I used Stampin Up inks instead of Hero Arts Shadow inks.  The Stampin Up inks are Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Lucky Limeade.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Simply Said stamp set and is stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink.  The arrow is in the Hero Arts Stamp My Story Brush Strokes stamp set.

I prefer the brighter color of the Stampin Up ink; whereas, my daughter prefers the more muted Hero Arts shadow inks.  It's all personal preference.  :-)

These cards will be heading off to Operation Write Home where they will be sent to military personnel serving away from their families.  They, in turn, can write home to their loved ones using these hand made cards.  If you are a card maker and have extras or just want to have a good reason to start making cards, check out the website for more information.

Have a great day and be inspired.

1 Corinthians 13:4  Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres.
