 | Thank you so much for joining us all for this blog hop honoring a wonderful gal and her family. Ann and I have been friends since college--if you've popped over to the GoFundMe page yet, you've already heard about our friendship, but if not--I'll give you the shortened version that she and I reconnected through stamping about 12 years ago and have been crafting together ever since. As you can tell by looking at either of our blogs, we're not quite as active in crafting as we'd like to be these days! |
I brought my blog back to life with this project to try and help bring awareness to the campaign that was created for her. I used one of my favorite impulse purchases--the Prayers Stamps & Dies by Hero Arts for Simon Says Stamp! This little set is just perfect for that card you need to get out quickly because the die and the sentiments pretty much do all the work themselves. I used Arches Watercolor Paper and my Kuretake watercolors for a quick painted background and then I adhered several layers of the 'prayers' die together to pop up on the card front. I used some dimensional tape to adhere that layer onto my card base and called it a day! I considered adding some sequins or a little bling but I really loved the clean design and decided to leave it alone. I have a tendency to not know when to stop with embellishments so I figured less was more here.
Now, let's get back to Blog Hop business--Ann's family has been through a lot and could truly use your help. We hope that you will enjoy seeing some of the projects that we've all created and enter for a chance to win some great prizes along the way. If you are in a position to contribute financially, that is great though we understand not everyone can do so which is why there is another way that you can be entered for the prize drawing. You can be entered into the prize drawing simply by leaving comments on blogs along the way and/or by making a donation. Winners will be posted on Ashley's blog on February 11th which should give people plenty of time to hop along and get to all of the posts.
Hopefully you've already popped by Ashley's blog where our hop began, but if not, be sure to check it out!
And then be sure to hop on over to Tenia's blog for another fabulous project!
Be sure to visit GENEROUS AND AWESOME prize sponsors (who are all donating $50 gift certificates for us to give away) as well!
