Welcome to our Operation Write Home Cards with Critters blog skip for Groundhog's Day!
If you arrived here from Mary Anne's blog your skipping in the right direction. If you just happened upon my blog post and would like to start at the beginning click here and you'll go to the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps blog.
I had fun putting together my card for this skip. My cute Paper Smooches Alligator was already colored, I wish I remembered the Copic marker colors for you but I didn't find any other scraps of paper with this colored image.
I was inspired recently by Carol using this Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps sketch #123
I wanted to try it too. I like the way it turned out using this stamp set. My paper choices are Stampin' Up! Rose Red, Mellow Moss & Always Artichoke, Astrobrights Eclipse Black, Mohawk Bright White & X Press It blending card. I used Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp my image and sentiment.

Aww, I've got a soft spot in my heart for the gators! My son loved them when he was little. He loved the "Crocodile Man" and he always loved anything with Aligators on them. This is one gr8 card. :) Super cute and I love the use of the sketch!

You chose a great sketch to show off the cute alligator and clever sentiment. I especially like the texture on the paper.
I love your card...it's going to make somebody smile when they open up the envelope and see it! I make cards for OWH and have followed your blog for a while. I'm not into copic coloring yet...thanks for the chance at winning!
TFS this adorable card. Love the matchup of textured paper and sentiment. Appreciate the candy, too.
This embossing plate is perfect with this image. It's such a "snappy" layout. lol Thanks for still being so supportive of OWH. I've heard from so many soldiers that really appreciate all of these wonderful cards. Thanks to you & MFT for offering these awesome stamp sets.
