It's been wonderful having Fiona with us this month! Looking forward to more of your beautiful work! 

This week the challenge is: TREES

PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE

 I stenciled bubbles onto the card using Simon's Ocean ink and a blending brush.

I stamped a few random snowflakes into some of the bubbles.

I cut an outline of a partridge using black cardstock.

, as well as some branches for the tree.

I drew a pear onto watercolor paper, added paint, and some gold splatter, then once dry, I added detail with a black pen.

Stamped Season's Greetings...

Another holiday card done! Final step was to add some doodle lines to frame it all.

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.
