Cherish the Children and a Chance to Help

Short and Sweet today.

This is a tag that I created using the 

Distress Oxides Inks from Tim Holtz.

I found a few of these while on vacation in Minnesota and 

decided now was the time to try something new.

Why not? They were on sale. The background was so yummy

that I really had a hard time covering it up,

BUT it had to be done.

Here's a look at the results.

I watched a couple of videos, one especially great one is from 

Thicketworks with Heather Tracy on the Graphics Fairy.

Check it out. But I also used a few different techniques of my own

to get more contrast using different inks.

I hope you enjoy the results and find time to play this weekend.

We all need to just break away from the drama of reality

and playing in my Studio is even more important today

than ever.

Now I'm off to buy candles and batteries to send to Puerto Rico by

way of Milagros C. Rivera who is desperately trying to help

her people there after the hurricane.

Sandra Evertson's post in above link tells of their need for batteries, candles,

matches and other things. A USPS Flat-Rate Box is considered US shipping.

So pack one up and send it if you can.

You can send them directly using the USPS to:
