[PAPER CRAFTERS UNITE AGAINST RACISM] Instagram Hop

The goal of this hop is to continue to raise awareness about anti-racism; to stand with the BIPOC, AAPI, Indigenous and Palestine communities, and to keep encouraging everyone to start the necessary conversations.  We are all one humanity and should find a way to #showup for equity and equality. Silence, Inaction, and Passivity are detrimental to justice.  Injustice anywhere is Injustice EVERYWHERE! Thanks so much for joining us on this hop and getting the conversation started and being involved! Follow me on  Instagram  for more cards, reels and crafty fun! Jill

[Peaceful Thoughts] Simon Says Stamp January 2022 Card Kit #3

  I am back with another card with the Simon Says Stamp Card kit! For these cards, I wanted to use only the trees from the stampset! I colored in the trees using alcohol markers and then created two backgrounds! For the first one (left) , I ink blended using Distress Oxides and embellished with just a few sequins. For the right card, I used shimmer watercolors to create a soft pastel sky! Again, embellished with some sequins! I love the simple look but still has lots of color!  Thanks for stopping by!

[Love and Hugs] Thinking of You Card

 I haven't done only stamping in my cards in a LONG time so had fun with this layered stampset,  Sending Love and Hugs from PinkFresh Studios.  I stamped up the florals using Hero Arts ink and embossed the leaves in gold. I left one floral image in tact and another I cut up and arranged it around the sentiment. I mounted the panel on a yellow card base to make it really pop! Thanks for stopping by!
