Hello stamping friends! Today I am asking for your help with a card drive organized by my blogging friend, Carole from My Carolina Home. You will want to visit her blog to see her amazing quilting projects, tablescapes and cards. She has a need for encouragement cards AND monetary sponsors to complete care packages for women in a domestic abuse shelter.
Here is the link to her blog post with all the details. There will be a really great prize for one lucky donor and donations are needed by August 1st.
Here is a card I created and will send in.
(Click to enlarge photos.)
It is a one-layer card on a light blue cardstock with a tiny bit of speckles. I inked up my stamp with Distress Oxide inks, adding a touch of darker pink and green marker to portions. Then I sprayed the stamp with water and stamped onto my blue card base. I love the variation of color where the ink oxidized and then other areas where you can see the marker. Finally, I added Nuvo drops for embellishment.
I used an uplifting sentiment and then matted that with navy cardstock. I will write a little note inside. Carole asked that we not write anything religious because we won't know who our recipient is. When I have trouble figuring out the right words to write inside, I often do a little internet search. There are lots of ideas out there that are simple or complex, depending on what you are going for.
I do hope you will consider sending a card or supporting this drive monetarily! I am so glad Carole asked me to be a part of this drive, it feels good to do good.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Supplies: Inkadinkado Flower Blossom by Brenda Walton, Gina K Designs Inspiration Mosaic stamp set (sentiment), Distress Oxide ink Worn Lipstick and Peeled Paint, Tombow markers, Versafine Onyx Black ink, cardstock from my stash, Nuvo Crystal drops
