Cards for OWH ~ Part 2

  Hi everyone! I've been working hard trying to get all my cards for OWH packaged and ready to ship, so I'm just now posting the rest of them.  For some reason when it comes to cards I love minimalistic touches.  I may go all out sometimes, especially with layouts, but with these cards I found out that sometimes less is more.  I really hope they are enjoyed by both the service men and women and their loved ones.   First one is pretty simple.  I used a 3D cupcake sticker by Jolee's and stamped with the "hey cupcake" birthday stamp from a set that I have had for a very long time and have no idea what brand it is...   This one is probably my all-time favorite.  I had this piece of chipboard sitting on my stash for ever! It just didn't go with anything.  It's by colorbok.  So I reached into my stash determined to use all kinds of goodies in these cards and thought of adding a rose to the pretty green mirror.  The stamp is by Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesda
