Thinking of You

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are all doing well. I have a friend named BreAnn, who had a birthday in Heaven this month. When this time of the year comes around I always seem to think of her mother. I never know just what to say but this time I am sending her a card. I know that this month in particular BreAnn, her family and friends always showed awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension. The PHA or Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness ribbon is Periwinkle but for some reason I had the inspiration to color the roses red and small flowers pink. I will definitely work on cards with Periwinkle or another purpley color for PHA.


I decided to use  a digi stamp called: Ching-Chou Kuik - Love Birds and colored it up with Polychromos and a couple of Prismacolor pencils. To embellish and add dimension to the the image I used Nuvo Crystal Drops. I also used a die set from Sizzix Thinlits by Stephanie Bernard #661116 I purchased the word dies on Amazon but I'm sure you can probably find it in different craft stores. I used the words "thinking," "of," and "you." The technique I used to not have to crop off or cover my image is called Eclipse Technique and I learned that from Amy Young.

Thank you so much for visiting.

TTPH DT: Crafty Sentiments Inspiration

Hello Everyone!

Just showing a little card that I made for TTPH with a Crafty Sentiments digi called Tess Summer Fun

Thank you so much Crafty Sentiments for sponsoring our DT this week. 

This week we are working with an inspiration that you'll see as you scroll down. 

 I colored her with Copic markers, 

used a banner spellbinder's die and a die from My Creative Time. 

Down below is the inspiration photo. I tried to pick up some of the colors from the feathers.

Furthermore, on the inspiration is my lovely crafty friend BreAnn McFarland who was

diagnosed with a rare and serious illness called Pulmonary Hypertension as a child and

needed to have a lung transplant. The color Periwinkle is the official color of 

Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness but varying purples are often used.

The phrase "Just Breathe" is one of the sentiments I like to use for her cards or cards inspired by her. 

Make sure to stop by 

Through The Purple Haze Challenges blog to enter your card/s using this inspiration photo. 

Thank you for stopping by,

I will be entering my card at:
