My first card has an image that I just loved coloring. It's a cute racoon from Hang In There. Theresa's illustrations are amazing and she included the most adorable images of different animals with great sayings to go with them in this set. The card base is GinaK's Pumpkin Spice. The background was embossed with Cuttlebug Forest Branches folder and sponged with Vivid Tuscan Tan. The racoon was colored with Copics. The button is from the Autumn Button Assortment.
My next card features the Hope is Faith mini stamp set that will retail for $9.95. It was created to raise money for the Red Cross to help with the devastation in Haiti. $2.00 of every purchase of this stamp set will be sent directly to the Red Cross throughout the month of February.
As the first responders to disasters around the world, the Red Cross is there to help with the basic needs of these people who have suffered so much. By purchasing this mini set, you will help to make a difference to people who are desperate by supporting an organization that works tirelessly to feed, clothe, comfort and care for those in need.
The card base is Innocent pink sponged with Vivid Tuscan Tann. The background paper, also sponged, is my new digital paper pack, Swing Into Spring, and the frame is from my new set (more on these later this week). I colored the butterfly with Copics. The ribbon is from a local textile store.
