We are sponsored this week by:

I was lucky enough to receive a fabulous selection of products to Stix 2 to work with.  The products I used on this card are:

Individual Glue Pen

Pick and Mix Pack of Transfer Foils

Border Tape

I stamped my design using the Happiness Surrounds stamp set from Stampin' Up and then used the glue pen to apply a thin layer of glue over some parts of the pattern. 

Once the glue was tacky, I used one of the foil sheets over the top.  

I repeated the process round the edge of the panel to give a foil border.

I finished the card with a piece of the border tape and some gems.

The Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugral Blog Hop!

Hello Blogging Friends!!

Welcome to my project for the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop!  

Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born with only one X chromosome, instead of two, leaving her with life-long medical issues and learning disabilities. This condition occurs one in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is more common among pregnancies that do not survive to full term. That is why Turner Syndrome Females are considered MIRACLES!

Nineteen caring Sponsors and eleven DT Members have partnered with us to bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public. For details on how you might win any of these fabulous prizes, please see Lori's TS home page. Thanks for learning About Turner Syndrome. 

My TS related project uses a few colors from the TS official color board:


 

And here is my card:

I've used a digi stamp from one of our sponsors, SheepSki Designs, called 'My Music' which you can find here in Andrea's Etsy shop.

I coloured my image with Promarkers and used some patterned paper from a K&Co pad.  The other card and paper I've used is from Craft Creations.

I hope you're going to join in with our blog hop and don't forget tovisit the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop page to become eligible for prizes.
