Hop for Hope with Your Next Stamp

Hello!  Welcome to the Your Next Stamp Hop for Hope Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from Suzanne's blog but if not you'll want to start at the beginning of the hop, which is Suzanne.

We are releasing a very special set today in honor of breast cancer awareness month.  This set was created by YNS illustrator Fhiona Galloway, who is currently battling breast cancer herself.  We are dedicating our hop to this very special lady, along with all of the other amazing women who are fighting this difficult fight.  We have several special guests joining us so you won’t want to miss all of the gorgeous creations!

The Fight Like a Girl stamp set retails for $15.00 and Karen is donating $3.00 from each sale towards cancer research.  Are you ready to see what I made with this adorable stamp?

For my card, I wanted the pink ribbon to really pop so I colored the image in shades of grey, except for the ribbon.  The whole image was colored with Copics.  I added a piece of old Basic Grey paper and a sentiment from the same set.

Now it’s time to hop on over to Veronica's blog. Thank you so much for joining us for this special hop, and don’t forget that by purchasing this adorable set, you are helping to find a cure for this terrible disease!

    Great idea to focus on the ribbon and making rest in the gray family. It makes for a striking look.

    I love your idea of the black and white to show off the pink ribbon. I too have a special place in my heart for breast cancer and the cause.
