August 25th Stay Crafty @Home Blog Hop hosted by LeighSBDesigns!

This is a 2 month long "Anything Goes" hop that ends September 25th at 11:55pm pacific!

Leigh's blog hops are stress free...you play when you want and how much you want!  All the details are HERE at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!  The linky party is there, too! 😉 

 I wasn't going to post tonight because of the storm situation but the tropical storm that passed through today was very mild and I am very thankful!  We are still watching Hurricane Lara and it is looking as if it will go to the west of us.  Of course, down here when we breathe a little sigh of relief we know that means others will be in for such trouble.  I just pray Lara doesn't strengthen as they predict she will over the hot Gulf water and will loose much of her punch before she goes ashore.  So between battening down our hatches and trying to do a quick patch on the roof from a rogue thunderstorm this weekend, I worked with the wonderful image "Spread Love Heart Wreath" that comes with 14 sentiments by the awesome sauce LeighSBDesigns!

I colored with Prisma colored pencils and a spot of Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut the lovely image and heart wreath out.  I popped the two larger flowers on foam dots and the sentiment, too.  I added some stain glass type paint I had over the sentiment after inking with wilted violets Distress Ink but it did NOT photograph well!  I inked the papers with the same ink and did a little white gel pen doodle around the edges of the card.  This fabulous image was awarded to those of us who played in the Christmas in July Blog Hop hosted by Leigh last month!  Thanks again, Leigh!
