Artful Angel August Release - Extra Chromie

 Hi friends!  I have some super special projects to share with you!  To celebrate the new August Release from Artful Angel, I created a few extra projects.  Down Syndrome Awareness Month is celebrated in October, and in honor of a very sweet young lady, Artful Angel has released the Extra Chromie stamp set.  Charis wanted to make sure that this set was available in plenty of time to celebrate with your loved ones in October.

I created my very first Memory Dex card using the Extra Chromie stamp set paired with the Perfect2Me digital paper collection from AZRedHead on Etsy.  I colored my main image with Copic markers (colors listed below). 

I die-cut my base using the Heidi Swapp Memory Dex Dies three times - twice from blue card stock and once from one of the patterned papers. I trimmed the patterned Dex card in half and adhered to the front of the blue card.  I wrapped some blue glittery ribbon around the two and adhered the other blue card to the back.   I stamped my sentiment and trimmed the strip into a banner, and created a banner from yellow card stock.  I adhered them behind my stamped image and attached them all to the front of my dex card.  I finished by adding some blue enamel dots and a bow of yellow and blue crochet thread. 

Colors Used: 

Skin - E33, E11, E21, R20

Hair - E18, E15, E13

Pants - B29, B26, B24, B21

Shirt - Y17, Y13, Y11

When this set was released, a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the stamp set were donated to Cornerstone Ranch, a community for those with special needs in McKinney, Texas. 

This is Lucy, the inspiration behind the Extra Chromie stamp set.
