I wanted to take a day to let you know about a great cause- my sweet friend, Kristina Proffitt's daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in March of this year and Caylin's Cure is Kristina's fundraiser to do her part in finding a cure!
Kristina is hosting an auction on her blog
HERE for 2 simply BEAUTIFUL and TOUCHING pieces of artwork by the talented
Lori of Fresh Picked Whimsy.
And today I have a card to share with you, inspired by Lori's print:
Betsy Bluebell, Penny Black 30-053, was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Copic X-Press It cardstock and was colored with Copic Markers. The background was distressed with Broken China, Old Paper, and Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. The leaves were die cut with a Sizzix die using Tiara White cardstock. They were then colored using Peeled Paint Distress Stain. Before adhering to the card, I added Walnut Stain Distress Ink to the edge of the leaves using the ink blending tool and foam applicator pad.
Now, be sure to head on over to Kristina's blog (CLICK HERE) to find out more info about her great auction and to see how you can help. I'll be here tomorrow with our next featured artist- her cards are coming to us all the way from Croatia!
