Think Pink

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the   TAG IT  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: THINK PINK...BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

So many women we know have faced a breast cancer diagnosis,. My mom was one of those women, and she faced Sit bravely, twice. I admire the courage it took her to accept and deal with this. Sometimes all we can do for friends and loved ones is to be there for them and give our love and support. 

I began by mixing several pink paints on my tag. I sprinkled water onto it before completely dry, and lifted some paint to create this background.

Next, I stamped some bubbles over the tag with Rhubarb ink. 

Next, I stamped the women. I wanted two to show support. I meant to have them facing each other, but decided this was ok too. 

I stamped and added a sentiment of love and support. 

I wanted to dress it up and four lace and flowers in my stash to give it a very feminine feel 

Final touch - some pink butterflies, to represent the change a woman faces, devastating, but also hopeful.

This week the challenge is: TAG IT

Are you ready for a little hocus hocus? 

I began with some ink smooshing on the tags. I started off with tow, which let me choose the one I liked best for this make. 

I also took a piece of scrap paper and did more ink smooshing with a focus on orange for my pumpkin. 

I stamped a spider web in one corner, then stamped, colored and added a bottle with an eye.Do you ever get an idea when you are working on something and sleep on it? Tha's when I came up with using the googly eyes. 

I love the critters in an older Tim Stamptember set, and picked out this one. I colored him bright green., and added googly eyes.

Remember that scrap? I stamped the blueprint pumpkin on it, cut it out, and added some gold highlights. 

Details... 

Another touch I added was white splatter.
