Epilepsy awareness day

-
Hello everyone! Until a few days ago I didn't even know there was an epilepsy awareness day. But when I found out that through Time Out challenge blog that March 2th is just that, I had to join. You see, my Bonita (the doggie we just lost) had stress-induced epilepsy. I hope to never see another epileptic cramp again 🙏
But did you know not all seizures are visible? Some seizures puts the patient in a sort of trance, and some go by unnoticed for years. Either way, it's scary.
Purple is the color for epilepsy and the sea horse is a symbol of it, because the seizures take place in the brains Hippocampus, which in latin means sea horse. So I stamped the Hero Arts layered Sea horse using Altenew purple inks.
I used the same inks to ink smoosh the background. I also stamped a few more sea horses and stenciled through Taylored Expressions Splash stencil. I didn't move the stencil. Instead I added a bit of Nuvo Moonstone glimmer paste for a little sparkle. The sentiment is from The stamp market.

I hope you enjoyed and that you are safe and healthy.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

    I am so pleased you included all you did about epilepsy and what a take on the challenge to use a seahorse-we didn't realise this was Latin for this. That is superb stamping of the sea horse and perfect placement of the other ones and wow to the added glitter. Thanks for spreading the word and joining us at Time Out x

MFT sketch challenge

Billede
Hello everyone! I wanted to create a card for the new My favorite things sketch challenge and thought it was about time for me to start my Christmas card collection. As always I tried to incorporate other challenges - the MFT color challenge (again), masking, sparkle and texture. I cut a panel of Neenah cardstock to about 4,5x4,25 inches. I stamped a bear from the MFT Polar bear pals and colored it with copics. I also stamped the image on a Post-it and fuzzy cut it to mask the bear. From another Post-it I cut with a Nellie Snellen Multi frame circle die. I placed it centering the bear. I masked the rest of my panel as well and ink blended over the bear using Tumbled glass, Salty ocean and Chipped sapphire Distress inks. I diluted a drop of white acrylic paint with a bit of water and splattered it over the Distress ink. Copics used: B39, B69, B29, BG09, BG07, BG57, BG53 W3, W1, W0 C5, C3, C1 After it dried I removed the masks and replaced with the ne...

Always be a mermaid

Billede
Hi there! Today we are starting our summer holiday and I wanted to make a card for my daughter. I just had to color up this new Digi Doodles Serina mermaid!    The background was created by ink blending Milled lavendar, Tumbled glass and Mermaid lagoon Distress inks over the Taylored Expressions Sweet scallop stencil. I printed the mermaid and a sentiment from Digi Doodles Mermaid sentiments. I colored the mermaid with my copics in my favorite colors, pink and teal, and fuzzycut it out.  I decided the card needed a shaker element and I used the TE Be a mermaid tail die. I die cut the tail from the background and popped up the background with 2 layers of craft foam. I placed the cut out tail in the negative space. I made sure to prep with my antistatic powder bag and added clear sequins and violet glitter before placing the background on top. I popped up the mermaid and the sentiment. The sentiment is cut with a frame from Lawn Faw...
