October is breast cancer awareness month.  This is just right to go with a gift for someone having breast cancer treatment.

I cut 3 card tags, two white and 1 pink (extended).  After smooshing the tags with black Distress Ink, I splattered with silver paint.  When dry, I sandwiched the main tag together with the black lace between.  The coloured in image is glued on and the tags tied together with ribbon.

Eyes coloured with Copics

Sentiment stamp: Ranger/Dina Wakely

PPaper from stash, a sprinkle of gems, black pen.

I chose to colour only the eyes of the image, I thought the image would disappear into the background if I coloured it  (sometimes I like to leave them uncoloured anyway).  The patched background is made using a stack'n'slash quilting technique.  The stamped sentiment is smudged with pale green in patches.  Stitching is added with a pen once it is all stuck down.  A sprinkle of gems falling into her hand.

It's very interesting; when I was making it, the top left square stood out, but in the photograph the centre square stands out more.

I used sponsor My Besties image "slinky lil hen", get it here:  mybestiesshop_Slinky_Lil_Hen

I layered it up.
 I have a neighbor with a birthday on the 19th who has hens and I thought this was pretty cute for her.  The image is printed onto card and coloured.  Matted onto black card, a red strip printed on the computer as a footer, and blue strip stamped.  The hen has been printed twice and the second copy cut out and stuck over with 3D foam.
