Welcome to our Operation Write Home Hero Arts blog skip, if you've arrived here from Yolanda's blog you're on the right track. If not and you'd like to start at the beginning click here to be directed to the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps blog.
My card uses one of the newest OWH/Hero Arts sets. This set stayed on my desk for awhile and I kept looking at it and seeing patterned paper so I gave into the urge to ink up the entire set in it's packaging and stamp it on a sheet of Kraft cardstock. I thought Operation Write Home's sketch #99 from this last Sunday would be the perfect way to use my "background".

Great card! Must get the new stamps!
LOVE how the colors just POP :)
WOW--beautiful job, as always! It is just right!! I love the contrast of the colors, and of the filled-in spaces vs solid colors, if you KWIM.
Like the way you stamped the background, great job
I never would have thought of using sentiment stamps as background builders. Thanks for sharing!
Julie, I LOVE how you used the whole set to make patterned paper! It's perfect, especially with that sketch!!
Jan, I really did know this is your blog, I could see Julie's name in the background and I just typed it. Sorry....
Great idea making the pattern paper. It scares me so I haven't tried it..LOL
Brilliant- using it as is! Love it- great pattern paper!
Love your card Jan! What a great wasy to make patterned paper!!!
I love how you used the whole set as a background! Very creative!
I like the way you stamped all the stamps on the background.
Awesome background! I was going to ask where you got it! Thanks for the inspiration.
That is awesome to use this set to make...patterned paper!!
I just couldn't wait and hope I might win them -- I already bought all 3 OWH stamp sets.
Great BG and nice take on the sketch!
Great color combination!
Great idea! Love the background and love this set.
That's perfect! Presto...patterned paper that's perfect for OWH cards!!! Great job Jan!
Awesome idea Jan. I love how it turned out. You never disappoint.
Love your card. I often think the stamps, in their packaged form, look cool enough use as a single stamp. This turned out great!
Such a cool idea, Jan! It looks like you managed to cover at least 3 OWH challenges with one card as well - sketch 99, create your own background paper, and a V-Day/Love card. You are amazing!
Love that idea!!! This is my favorite set!!! Great work--as always!! Denise I.
What a cool idea! Beautiful colors!
Love kraft and red. That Hello Handsome stamp is a must have.
Love how you did the background paper. I thought it was one stamp.
Love your card. Such a nice background!
What a brilliant idea!!! Must try this too.
Love the subway art look background! Great card! TFS!!!
I love your technique for making background paper. I have to try that out tomorrow!
(I already have the OWH stamps)
I love your card! It is really neat how you made your own decorated paper.
So many great ideas so ready to buy the stamp sets and try some of them Charlsie
Love this card, this stamp is definitely, a stamp that needs to be on my shelf. TFS
Wonderful idea, using all the stamps as a single stamp. I was able to pick up the "All the Time" set at my local stamp store. After seeing what you've done, I should have picked this set up too.

Super creative to use multiple sentiments in one card Jan. This is so perfect for OWH cards, I'm going to have to swipe the idea! :)
oh Jan.. this is wonderful. I too was thinking about inking up the whole thing, but never got around to it.. glad you did so I can see what it looks like.. and it's a "must do!".. thanks for sharing ~ Pam
Brilliant! It DOES make a great background.

Love, love your card. I would never have thought to put the multiple stamps together like that. Thus is my favorite stamp set of the 3.

What a great idea for a card - love the contrast of the kraft and the red papers!
Great card. Love the bright and cheerful colors. Cool Stamp too.
Love the colors - and how you used the stamps as background paper!
Here I am....a day late and a dollar short! I sure wish my email subscriptions would come on time...??? My OWH Skip post, arrived today and I totally forget yesterday!! (Hectic Week)!!
