Sparkly Thanks!

So there's this Hop to Stop, eh? I've now added a tag (duh!) so you can access all my Hop to Stop posts in the same place for purple gloriousness!

I'm also entering this in the current Doodle Pantry challenge - finally using this gorgeous hydrangea precoloured digi I've had for ages. 

Supplies: Again with the dip-dyed background - seedless preserves & broken china, plus Dylusions purple; Waltzingmouse Stamps sentiment; Hydrangea digi from Doodle Pantry; classic small circle Nesties; Liquid Pearls; Sakura Stardust glitter pen; homemade pearl glimmer mist

I printed two copies of the digi so I could selectively fussy-cut some of the blooms. I added a dab of Liquid Pearls to the centres, and traced the sentiment & circle panel with the glitter pen. 

192!!! So close to 200 :)

OODLES of love!

Something just so fun about the word OODLES :) hehehe

Playing along again with the Hop to Stop - my previous posts are here, here, and here. 

Supplies: Dylusions Grape spray; Gina K butterfly stamp; Waltzingmouse Stamps sentiment; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Versamark pad & pen; clear detail embossing powder; Spectrum Noir markers; Corner Chomper

So there may need to be an intervention to stop me from making these amazing Becca-inspired dip-dyed backgrounds - but they just turn out so freaking cool every dang time. And if they don't, you DIP THEM AGAIN AND IT'S AMAZING. I initially planned to stamp the background of the white panel so embossed the butterfly & sentiment...and then I changed my mind.



175 cards linked up as of right now - and a little over 2 days left to add yours!

Still Hopping to Stop!

I plan to make you a little sick of purple this week :) As I'm typing the Hop to Stop has 166 cards linked up, with three days left to add yours! This is fabulous for a first-time event - but of course the more the merrier!!! I have at least 3 more to share in the next few days.

My previous posts for the hop are here and here. 

Supplies: Sweet Pea Stamps mermaid stamp; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Spectrum Noir & Sharpie markers; Reverse Confetti sentiment; Sakura Stardust glitter pen; gems from Dollarama; background made with Becca's ink dipping technique, and Broken China, Seedless Preserves, Purple Dylusions spray, and homemade pearl glimmer mist. 

SO SPARKLY!

Remember, the only theme to follow is PURPLE, so get at it :)

You Are Awesome!

I've been working on cards for the Hop to Stop all week, but have been slow getting them photographed and blogged (what can I say, it's more fun to MAKE the stuff!) Check out Becca's blog for all the nitty gritty details!

Supplies: Dusty Concord distress ink; Versamark & white detail EP; stamps from Neat & Tangled, PTI, and unknown

I just used the one purple ink, using generational stamping to create the different tones. 

C'mon and play!! You've got until the 14th to link up :)

The Hop to Stop.

I am so honoured to be participating in The Hop to Stop, an incredible show of support, awareness, and information spearheaded by the one & only Becca Cruger, The Damsel of Distressed.  I shared my own experience with domestic violence last October, and besides the support from the blogging community (you guys are awesome) I also learned more about my friends' stories. 

In the province of Nova Scotia, transition house information can be found here.  Information about domestic violence and recognizing the signs in people you know and love can be found here. 

For the hop, we're all creating with purple - the awareness colour for domestic violence. The theme is your choice - as long as you feature purple. I decided with my first card to also celebrate love.

Supplies: stamps from PTI; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Versamark; clear detail EP; Moonstone EP; Sakura clear glitter pen; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic; Distress inks in Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves, and Chipped Sapphire; Spectrum Noir markers

I stamped & embossed the sentiment first, and then the moon. Before embossing I tapped off the clear powder & resprinkled it with moonstone powder to get the sort of pocky moonscape look. Then I stamped & coloured the rocket, coated it with Dimensional Magic, sponged the inky background, and finally clear-embossed the stars. *whew* Lots of steps for a single layer! 

Becca's blog has all the information you need to participate in the hop - and I hope you will! Link up before October 14 to join us.

xoxo,

Jessi
