Hello, friends! This morning, I've got a card to share using stamps and dies from Lil' Inker Designs for a very special cause, Layton's Legacy Card Drive & Fundraiser! This is an amazing effort put together by Lea Lawson to raise money to purchase Starbucks gift cards for parents whose children are in the NICU of the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital. You can read all of the details of Lea's story and find out more about this fundraiser in her son Layton's honor here!
I used Lea's beautiful mood board when planning out this card. I couldn't resist the owl in the lower right, and the bright sun peeking out of the wall mural. These two elements, along with the color palette made this card come together quickly!
I colored the little owls from the Hootie Patootie stamp set with Copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies. The backdrop is a combination of the Wrappers Delight: Sunburst die and Dual Stitched Rectangles, the sentiment flag is the Stitched Sentiment Flag and the sentiment is from the Modern Mandala stamp set. I used one of my favorite cover plates, Quilted Stitched So Knotty, to add some interest to the background
Check out all of the sponsors and prizes involved in this great fundraising effort! You can join in too, by donating, sharing the fundraising link, and/or creating cards that will be given along with the gift cards! All of the details are on Lea's blog, so be sure to head over there if you haven't already!
A great BIG thanks to all of the sponsors and to Lea for organizing this amazing effort in honor of her baby boy - it will brighten the day for so many people going through one of the most stressful things imaginable. Now it's time to hop along with all of these talented designers and companies!
So - not only is this a fundraiser, it's a super inspiring blog hop! Here's a link list with all of the stops on the hop. Be sure to leave comments for all of these generous companies, stores & designers!
