I'm not sure if you've heard the news, but the wonderful Michelle (my Stampavie distributor) had an accident which caused her to loose one of her eyes. You can read about it on her blog.
Stampavie is collecting donations for her medical bills here (along with a special digi designed by Tina Wenke). And Whimsy Stamps also has a special digi by artist MelJen and sentiments by Rainbow Echo Designs.
A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge Blog is having a special card drive and challenge in honor of Michelle (who is on their DT). My Wags 'n Whiskers partner Nikki has donated a prize for the card drive along with other wonderful Sponsors.
It took me a little while to find the time to make a card for Michelle, but I finally did it...
This is Party Donkey from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I figured Michelle would be receiving enough of the special donkeys so I though I would use a different one on her card instead.
I received my order of Basic Grey Oliver and Olivia designs and had to play with them right away. Wow! What a great line BOTH of them are!!
The sketch is for Splitcoast Stampers this week. It's been a LONG time since I've participated with one of their sketch challenges!!
The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...
I tried to make it a "girly" Donkey card so I used the Basic Grey Olivia papers.
But I have also been busy playing with the Oliver papers as well!! here's a sneak peek of my layout for the Scrap and Stamp Saturday Challenge (which will be posted on my blog on Saturday)...
If you haven't donated to Stamavie's money drive for Michelle's medical bills, please consider doing that soon. I know it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
