Hope for Japan and ColourQ Challenge


The challenge colors over at colourQ (#79) reminded me of the CTMH Wings paper pack, and since my new Hope for Japan stamp set arrived, I had to play! (Doesn't the butterfly paper match the dress material well?!?)


{To learn more about this beautiful $5 stamp set and how it can help support American Red Cross relief efforts in Japan, please click HERE.}


To create this simple card, I began by inking up the focal image in Sweet Leaf. Then, I rolled the edges in Vineyard Berry, and then rolled them again in Black before stamping. (I LOVE doing this technique!) I stamped the solid heart in the center in Vineyard Berry, and then stamped "Hope" in Juniper. To finish the focal image, I attached a Licorcie Opaques Pearl and also used a black pen to doodle dots in the corner. (The doodling was actually a way to fix a little overstamp of black ink from the corner of my block, but that will just be our little secret, okay?)


Because the Sweet Leaf card base looked a bit plain, I used my black stubble tool and black ink to distress the background a bit.


Hope you're enjoying your weekend!


All supplies from Close To My Heart: Hope for Japan stamp set (available through 4/30/11 to benefit the American Red Cross); Wings paper pack; Sweet Leaf, Juniper, Vineyard Berry, and Black inks; Black journaling pen; Licorice Opaques self-adhesive pearls; black stubble tool
