It's A Girl Thing Blog Hop ~ Turner Syndrome awareness.

Hi, so glad to be participating in this blog hop to bring awareness
to Turner Syndrome.

It's A Girl Thing Blog Hop     
Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born missing
 her second X Chromosome and because of this it leaves her with many health problems.
To find out more about Turner Syndrome here is a short photo presentation. 

This is the mood board that was used as inspiration for my card.

A background was created for the card using a background stamp called Wood by

Joy Clair.  The girl and flowers are stamped out watercolor paper, colored in

with Distress Oxide ink and then trimmed out.  Dimensional adhesive is used

for added texture.  The sentiment is heat embossed with black embossing

powder.  It is then matted on black cardstock and then added to the card front.

Supplies used:

Joy Clair: Wood Background stamp, God's Masterpiece, Boss Babe and

Saved By Grace

other: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: EZ Runner Grand and 3D Foam squares

Distress Oxide ink

Ranger/Embossing Powder

glitter pen and watercolor paper

He Is Risen by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
We are wrapping up the month with two more cards created with
the "He Is Risen" stamp by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. So gorgeous!
First card~

This card was created using the PanPastels / Sunrise and Sunset palette.

Stamping this image takes lots of ink, but it looks amazing so crisp when
you get a good print.  Using a Misti is helpful for that.  I covered the "He
Is Risen" sentiment with tape (remove the tape before stamping to the
cardstock). The sentiment was stamped separately and then  cut
into word strips.

I started with red,orange and yellow for the color / PanPastels to color
 the Sunset with. The card front was matted with coordinating colored
cardstock and the sentiment was added to complete the card front.
Second card~

This card is embossed with black embossing powder.  The powder has texture
that is why the white is showing up.  I used beige mix media paper to
emboss on.

Once the embossing is completed the card front is matted on white and black
 card stock.  The sentiment is embossed on black cardstock with white
embossing powder.  The words are cut in strips and added to the
card front with dimensional adhesive.

 Would love to see you join us over on the

A Valentine with Joy Clair~

Hi guys!
It is my turn on the Joy Clair Blog!
I'm sharing a funny and cute card using the  #single set and
God's Focus set by Joy Clair.  This is a perfect card for that
special someone that loves chocolate, especially 1/2 chocolate.

To create a background for the card an embossing folder was used on heavy cardstock.  The banner was stamped out, from the God's Focus set, and trimmed out.  Color was added using Distress Oxide inks.  They work just like watercolors when water is added.  The banner and small hearts, were added to the card front, with 3D foam adhesive, along with a snarky sentiment from the #singles set.  Twine was added to complete the card.  Ink splats are optional.

The sentiment was added, to the inside of the card, suggesting 1/2 price chocolate is in the near future, like tomorrow!  Super cute and a quick card to celebrate the love for chocolate.

The Pasture by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have two cards to share with using the newly released The Pasture by
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. This stamp makes beautiful note cards!
First card~

This card was created with PanPastels as the means to add
color to the image.  Guys this is so easy and it looks fabulous!!!

The Cloud Stencil was used to create the cloud with the blue tones of
PanPastels.   

The brown and green tones (PanPastels) were used to color in the grass and tree bark.
The card front was adhered to coordinating cardstock. Twine and a wooden charm
 were added to complete the card.

Second card~

This was a fun one~
Stamp the image out using a Misti.  You want really clean lines!  I used beige
 heavy cardstock and love the contrast the black ink against the beige. So
pretty!

I used a Spellbinder oval die to cut the center out of  "The Pasture" scene stamp.

The image was squared up and matted on black cardstock.

A scalloped oval (I know it looks like a circle, but it is a oval) is used to

 cut a scalloped edged border for the plain oval.  This will be the focal

of the card.

The center was attached with dimensional adhesive squares.

Seam binding was tied around the base of the card and a vintage button
was added.
 Would love to see you join us over on the
