It's made using the Kolar's Care Package.
The sentiment is one of several that came with this delightful image!
Here's a bit of info about the cause, the images & how you can help!

hand made greeting cards to American soldiers for their use in keeping in
touch with their families back home!

Now, here's a closer look at Kolar!
How cute is he packing all his well loved bones to send to a very special person!
I coloured the image up with Promarkers & cut him out with a nestie.
I liquid embossed the water with a sakura glaze pen although I'm
not sure it shows up too well in the photo!
As is required by Operation Write Home the card is USA A2 size
( 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" that's approx A6, UK)
They prefer you not to use glitter or bulky embellishments.
The papers I've used are from my scrap stash &
I have matted thoseon to brown craft paper.
I kept the layout fairly simple & embellished with a strip of
chocolate brown satin ribbon from my stash & some
punched & layers butterflies cut from the papers I used.
The inside of the card has a matt of brown craft paper & the green card
I have left the inside of the card blank for a message to be hand written!
I hope you like it & you can pop on over to K 'n K Designs to get your images or
Operation Write Home to donate or send some cards!
Thanks for stopping by!
