October in the US is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.We were charged to create a card or project that could be sent to someone during this time... so we all were charged to THINK PINK.
You should have arrived from the Cajun Stamping Queen's blog. If not, the Bombshell Blog is the start of this little adventure.
I decided to go with the wonderful Butterfly Dreams set.
I colored it up with my copics and then cut out the images. They were mounted on a white Nestie, but the fun part is that the wings were lifted up with pop dots to give it dimension. We cut out the background of pink with our Pazzles machine. and I added in the clear crystals by hand. To me this can be used anytime, but the symbol of butterflies flying make me think of overcoming and stretching your wings to fly.
Your next step on the hop is the very Glittery Katie's blog.
Also - if you get a chance, try your hand at the challenges this month. There is a Sketch Challenge, and the monthly Pin Up challenge to splatter some paint. You have a chance to win some stamps. Cool stamps... Bombshell stamps.
This is the complete Blog Hop list just in case you get lost a little bit along the way.
