Pink for Jingle Belles

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's Breast Awareness Month and Jingle Belles is having their annual

Pink Challenge and that for each card that gets linked up, they (Stephanie and Lauren) each donate two dollars to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (yep that's $4 total) for each card linked-up.

 

This die cut ornament was all that was left in a package of watercolor paper and

I figured it was easier to use it than to move it.

I used an old poinsettia stamp, inked with pink ink and

stamped it onto the ornament.  After coloring the flower with ink and my waterbrush,

 I added color to the background then dotted with a white gel pen.  When it was 

completely dry, I smooshed the ornament into a VersaMark pad and heated

with clear embossing powder.

The sentiment is heat embossed with gold and I added a wispy leaf die cut to

an embossed background to finish.
