Hello and welcome to CAS-ual Friday's Calling All Sistahs blog hop! We are supporting our sistahs everywhere and encouraging you all to "check yo self" every month as a preventative measure in the fight against breast cancer.
Today I'm using this stamp set from the CAS-ual Fridays Calling All Sistahs line where 50% of the profits will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. for research and medical help for our fellow sistahs affected by breast cancer. Just click on the photo below and you'll be directed to these special products.
Calling All Sistahs
For my card this month I embossed a background piece using CAS-ual Fridays Pretty Posies stamp set and white embossing powder. Then I watercolored with various shades of pink Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush markers adding just a touch of color to each flower. When a little color was randomly added to each petal I spritzed with water to watch all of the pink shades magically blend together for a beautiful watercolor affect.
If you're interested in taking part in next month's Calling All Sistah's Blog Hop we would love to have you! Let's work together to remind our fellow sistahs to be diligent with their monthly breast self-exams and to schedule those yearly mammograms. You can join our Calling All Sistahs Facebook group or email Heather at Sistahoodhop@outlook.com for more information on how your blog can be added to our list of stops on next month's hop.
My sistahs, thank you so much for hopping along with us today. Please be sure to leave a comment at each stop along the way because CAS-ual Fridays will be generously giving away a $15 gift certificate to three people who comment. You have until 12:00 a.m. on August 19th to get your comments in for your chance to win!
Happy hopping!
