I just love this new Hugs & Kisses digital image by Michelle Perkett Studio! I think it's going to be perfect for cards for Operation Write Home, I can't think of anyone who wouldn't want to receive hugs and kisses from their deployed loved ones.
I colored the three kisses with Copic markers E59, E57 & E55 and was quite happy with the way they came out. I'm not used to using the darker colors and of course I used BG10 & BG0000 so I'd have mint chocolate hugs and kisses!
For such a cute image I kept my card clean and simple adding a little embossing and faux stitching and a couple of Dew Drops. The faux stitching was easier than I thought around the Spellbinders Oval after I'd embossed it. I need to remember that for future reference!
I have to mention the challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio that starts today too! The challenge is to make a card using a Michelle Perkett Studio image and use faux stitching!

YUMMY! don't know how you got that sort of depth with the kisses, but they look good enough to pop off the page and eat!
