Pink = Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month ... so I thought I would make some pink based cards to sell to support Breast Cancer Awareness.  It is going to be a real challenge for me as ...I really don't do ... PINK!!

I love this Kenny K image and her attitude!  I coloured the image using my promarkers and 1 copic (RV02).  The dp is faux stitched and I added lots of blingy sparkle ... you just can't see it all very well!!  The jewllry is coloured using a stardust pen, there are pink and black gems, and on the dotty dp I added crystals liberated from a recent wedding I attended (recycling!!).  The flowers aer coloured using my promarkers and sirbrush .. I love my airbrush!!

OK challenges it fits -
Stamp and Create Monthly challenge - pink for Breast Cancer Awareness
Kenny K Krafty Girlz challenge - bling it
Wild Orchid Crafts - Stitch it up
A Spoonfull of Sugar - Sparkle and Shine
 Passion for Promarkers - Recycled
 Papertake Weekly - 3rd Birthday - pick your own challenge - shiny, sparkly and special
Basic Grey Challenge - Sparkle


And don't forget I have some stamps for sale if you are interested ... you can find them here.
Recipe: 
Stamp(s): Kenny K Kitty Katasptrohe
Colouring Media: promarkers
Papers: Basic Grey - Bittersweet
Embellishments: from stash

Hi Cathy, I don't do pink either!!!
You've done a fabulous job of it though. Great choice of papers and great colouring of the whacky Kenny K image. Love your airbrushed flowers - mine come out all odd and patchy - lessons needed.
Thanks for playing along with us at Basic Grey.
