March 8th is a day aimed to help nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women, but as not to leave our guys out...International Men's Day is also celebrated on November 19 each year. But today and all month is to honor and celebrate our wonderful women, women empowerment and sisterhood all around the world!
The idea behind this hop started last year with 10 amazing women card makers who wanted to encourage other women through their crafts. Just a small word of encouragement from fellow women goes a long way and can do wonders. So let us come together and empower our sisters all around the world. Because we're in this together! Wow! Pretty awesome, right? We look forward to building a positive environment with your support.

For today's project: I was inspired by the beauty, spirituality, and sisterhood of our amazing CFS 'Flower Angel' and 'Angel Hugs' stamp sets to create this precious project with water colors, distress inks, die cuts, heat embossing, and some sparkle.
Tutorial: I started with an 8.5x11” yellow 100lb Papertrey Ink cardstock, folded in half, because I’ll trim it down at the end. I cut the left edge off a 4x6” turquoise panel from AC Tropical cardstock, using my die cutting machine with a stitched curvy scallop die from SimonSaysStamp and adhered to the card base. As I was cleaning up my craft desk, I came across some random pieces I had saved from previous projects, as we all do, that got me thinking I could incorporate some of them into this new project. I had a yellow die cut circle and a white cardstock panel that was sprayed with iridescent glimmer mist. So, using a PF blender brush I inked up the yellow circle with some fossilized amber distress oxide ink to make it a little darker and give it some interest. And using my die cutting machine again, I cut a smaller circle, from Gina Marie Designs, in the upper right corner of the white panel, that is smaller than the yellow circle. And using a water brush I added ink splatters in peacock feathers distress ink and fossilized amber oxide ink to match our project. Once dry, adhered the yellow circle to the outside of the panel with Tombow Multi liquid glue to move it in place. And set aside, do NOT attach yet.
