Graciellie Design Stamp Release Blog Hop and Giveaway!

** This is my first of two posts today. Please click HERE for the Live & Love Crafts March challenge. **

Hello, sweet friends! Are you ready to kick off a new month of crafty fun? ♥︎
I am honored to be part of a blog hop featuring the newest release from Graciellie Design's Digital Stamps. Gracie's stamps are not only versatile, but they're also as beautiful as her heart! Today I am sharing a card with you using one of the new sets called Butterflies.
The sentiments are perfect for encouragement projects and the butterflies are gorgeous as-is or colored up to match a color palette.
I colored the butterflies with Copics (BG10-BG72-BG78) to coordinate with the LemonCraft papers, layering the large one. I adore Gracie's stamps because they so often portray exactly what my heart wants to say in my charitable cards. This sentiment is perfect for a lovely 19-year-old named Anna, a cancer warrior who is now blind due to her brain tumor. Her world has darkened with change and Hope must be her light.
Although I always love incorporating texture, it was especially important here. Because Anna cannot physically see this, I wanted her hands to have ruffling trims and large blossoms to explore. My heart believes she *will* see this one day; that her sight will be restored, along with everything else cancer has stolen. Until then, she will feel the love fluttering in it.
An extra bit of texture for Anna is a metal filigree corner, which is heat-embossed with Shabby White Frantage. The laces and most of the flowers are from Live & Love Crafts. The Cappuccino crinkle ribbon is from DL.Art.
Gracie's new stamp sets can be found at Graciellie's Design's shop HERE. If you want to view last month's release and inspiration blog hop, click here.

Lovely Lace at Deep Ocean Challenge!

Hello, sparkly friends! I want to thank you once again for your continued love during my family's health tribulations. You are sweet rays of sunshine and I am grateful for you.

Today begins a new challenge at Deep Ocean and it's exceptionally pretty: Lovely Lace! I have returned to my Copics and was reminded that learning to color is a journey! ;) But it was still fun.
This cutie pie is Pixie, one of the darling Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet (available in rubber or digital). I was first drawn to her beautiful wings, ready to carry her through every storm as she fights for every dream in her heart... just like the inspiring warrior who will receive this card. She is indeed flying with her own wings driven by God's love, so beautifully captured in this Graciellie Design Angel Wings sentiment. The sentiment was cut out with a Spellbinders Lacy Pennant.
The special recipient is Willow, a teen cancer warrior who inspires me daily. She has survived the cancer that plagued her, but continues to battle the effects of treatment and the anxiety that fills her with fear that it will return. I hope this brings joy to her beautiful heart. ♥︎
A bouquet of aqua and white flowers (mostly from Live & Love Crafts) adorn the Lemoncraft Forget-Me-Not papers. The gorgeous Aruba Blue ribbon is from DL.Art's Tropical Summer bundle.
The butterfly border atop my card is from Joy! Crafts. The butterfly below is Isabella from Memory Box... the script and musical score papers in this pad are so pretty! The layered lace flower and Button Etoile are from Live & Love Crafts, while the lace is from The Ribbon Girl. Marianne Design's Stitched Circle holds my sweet image. My card base was made with Go Kreate's Large Frame Frilly 7.

Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a sparkly day. (I'll list the Copic colors soon!) ♥︎
