Hope House Home for Boys

The cards that I sell here in Chapala and Ajijic, Mexico benefit the dental program for the boys at Hope House in the nearby village of Ixlahuacan. There are close to 30 boys at the home and many of them come to the home having received no dental treatment. If you live here at Lakeside and would like to order a quality, hand crafted card for a special occasion and help me contribute to this worthy cause, please e-mail me at bettyinchapala@yahoo.com Card price is 50 pesos; the entire sales price is donated to Hope House.

Cards Patterns & Colour Q


The sketch for my card comes from Card Patterns 70 and the color combo from Colour Q 39. Here are the sketch and color inspiration:

My card base is SU Bravo Burgundy and the next layer of Whisper White is punched with Marth Stewart Arched Lattice punch. The "medallions" are from SU's Boho Backgrounds and were stamped in the challenge colors and then punched out with a 1" circle punch and adhered. There's a smaller mat layer of Bravo Burgundy with a white satin ribbon tied around it and a white layer for the image and sentiment which are from Gina K. Designs Eclectic Summer and Eclectic Summer Sayings. The kite was paper pieced and the bows on the tail are the challenge colors. Sponging on this layer was done with Brocade Blue and NIght of Navy.
Hope you stop back by and see me again!

Very cute---I recognized that sketch, I am working on a card with it too! Thanks for using the CQC colors, especially in a non-traditional, non-patriotic way! I love it!
