Having a Place to Go is Home for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog and I have a couple of eclipse cards to share with you featuring the new Vintage Country Home DIGI911.

For the base of the card, I used a Super-Adhesive Sheets and heat embossed it with Silver Detail embossing powder. I then used Tear-ific Tape 2” to adhere it to the white heavyweight cardstock.

The frame was heat embossed with Antiquities embossing powder and popped up with foam tape for dimension.

I used Altenew Bold Alphabet dies to cut the word home from the Vintage Country Home digital image. The letters were then popped up with foam tape.

Here's another look at the dimension.

The sentiment was cut with a Tonic Mixed Edge Oval die. The background layer was heat embossed with Platinum Detail and attached with Tear-ific Tape ½”. The corners looked bare, so I added Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White.

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

1) Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Link Up For Pink "Pink Hope" Blog Hop!!

Hello and welcome to Link Up for Pink’s first “Pink Hope” Blog Hop!! As we all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but here at LUFP, we want to bring Breast Cancer Awareness to our crafty friends all year long. We want to get the message out to all women about Breast Cancer and the importance of early detection with regular self-breast exams and mammograms.

If you arrived from Joanie's blog you are on track. If you want to hop along, please start at the Link Up for Pink’s blog.

We are so happy that you are joining us today. The Design Team and invited guests will share beautiful projects and most of all raise awareness.

Our sponsors today are Scrapbook Stamp Society and Touched By A Butterfly. One lucky winner will receive a $12 voucher to Scrapbook Stamp Society and a BCA Printable Digital Kit from Touched By a Butterfly.

I am so honored to be asked to be a part of Link Up for Pink’s first hop promoting breast cancer awareness. It's a cause near and dear to my heart. My cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and has recently endured a double mastectomy. I made this digital card to send to her.

I used a digi from Scrapbook Stamp Society and papers and embellishments from Touched By A Butterfly's Breast Cancer Awareness digital/printable kit:

There were so many awesome images and papers, I had a hard time choosing!! I ended up using all of the papers to make the bottom banner.

I used Photoshop Elements to put the card together, as well as to color the adorable digi.

"Brave is beautiful" is from K Andrew Designs Positive Thoughts stamp set. I love this sentiment...so true.
