Teapot Tuesday - Butterflies to Fight Like a Girl

If it's Tuesday, it must be time for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT 110 and Destination Station.  This week our cards are going to Madison, Mississippi.  A fellow SCSer has been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Her name is Jackie aka m&m's grandma (here's her gallery) on SCS.   I hear that Jackie loves butterflies, flowers and anything frilly.  I immediately pulled out my Flourishes Think Pink, Fight Like a Girl set.  Sadly, it's been getting too much use lately.

I used the Mojo Monday week 155 sketch:

                                      

Nothing like the teapot which is bright blue but I just couldn't find any mojo to use that color.  I'm hoping this will be frilly enough to make Jackie smile.  I colored then cut out and paper pieced the bodice, heat embossed the whole thing, and glittered it up a bit with a Sakura gel pen. I made my own DP with PTI's Damask Designs.  I used some frilly May Arts Scalloped Edge Satin Ribbon (EN10) to add to the frilly aspect that Jackie loves so much.

Supplies:
Paper - SU Regal Rose, PTI Ivory, black
Stamps - Flourishes Think Pink, Fight Like a Girl, PTI Damask Designs
Ink - Copic markers, Regal Rose, Versafine black, Versamark
Accessories - MS butterfly punch, pearls (I colored them black with a Copic marker), distresser, Spellbinders circle dies, May Arts EN10 ribbon, plastic gems, glue dots

                             

Fight Like a Girl Against Breast Cancer and Happy News

I think we all know someone whose life has been touched by breast cancer.  My good friend, Gretchen, is one of those brave ladies.   I created this card to combine with a breast cancer survivor kit for a fundraiser auction for the Pink Tie Friends. 

I used Flourishes Think Pink - Fight Like a Girl set.  I loved this set as soon as I saw it.  It has both fun and beautiful images as well as  lots of words.  One thing I've noticed about Flourishes stamps is that they take water based inks beautifully.  Many of othe acrylics I own just don'e stamp well with water based inks like Stampin'Up.

I also have some happy news.  I  was chosen as one of the new blog team members at May Arts Ribbons! 

Woo,Hoo...I'm soooo excited. 

A big Congratulations to the other ladies on the new team as well and a big THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to leave a comment on my project.
