Welcome to our annual Operation Write Home Memorial Day blog hop! If you've arrived here from Leslierahyes's blog you're on the right track. If not and you'd like to start at the beginning click the banner above and it will take you there!
For my card today I used a Hannah Lynn image called Ocean Rose. She's colored with Copic markers W9, W7, W5, W3, R29, R27, R24, R22, R20, YG67, YG63, YG61, G28, G24, G20, B41, B23, B21, B0000, E000, E00, E02, C0 C00 with a very simple layout to show her off to her best advantage. The "miss you" sentiment is by Handmade by Paula, I changed the color to match my color scheme. I also added a fancy photo corner by Quickutz. The cardstock I used is Neenah Solar White & Red Linen and Via Vellum Kraft.
I have blog candy to offer, I've filled a medium sized flat rate Priority Mail box full of cardstock, stamps and other card making goodies for one lucky person. Leave a comment & I'll draw a number and announce the winner Monday, May 30, 2011 right here.

Jan, your Copic skills are growing so quickly. The image is just so beautiful with so much dimension. Love, love, love your card. Give Maxine a hug for me! Blessings.
Beautiful "coloring" job!! I'm getting my first set of Copics soon...hope I can learn to "color" like that!! Just gorgeous!!
Wow, Jan, such great coloring and bright, clear, appealing graphics. I always look forward to see what you're crafting for OWH.
Super cute blog! I love your project too!
PS Memories in Uniform is the manufacturer of the rub on I used. I think the company went under a few years ago, but they were bought out by another company because I see after googling that you can still find the stuff everywhere. They had/have a great line of military stuff.
WOW!!! This is amazing, you did a terrific job on the coloring, the shading and such is excellent!! I hope to be this good someday.
Beautifully colored and I really like the red and kraft together!
Beautiful card! Your coloring is so pretty! Really like this image, I hadn't seen her before. Will have to look it up after hopping. Thanks for all your support of OWH!
