October QKR Stampede Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my post for the

October QKR Stampede Blog Hop!

If you have come from

Monika's Blog,

where I'm sure she had something wonderful to show you,

 you are right on target, if you have just stumbled upon the hop, you may want to start at the beginning where you will find a list of all the blogs included in the hop.  You won't want to miss any of the lovely work the Design Team has to show you.

This month our theme is Encouragement/Get Well.

I decided to use

"Secrets" (#14312) and "True Friends" (#10205)

from

QKR Stampede

What is more encouraging than to know that you mean the world to someone else?  To know that your "Secrets" are safe with them? To know they are there for you no matter what?

I love these two rag dolls sharing their secrets with one another.

I colored them with water color crayons and mounted them to card stock that was embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.

I used a sanding block over the embossed dots to bring out some of that core color and give contrast.

Here is a look inside the card, which I stamped and then embossed with the Swiss Dots Border folder.

Thank you for stopping by! 

Leave a  comment if you wish then head over to see what

Kristine

has to show you on her blog.  I'm sure it will be something lovely.

Once you are done with the hop, make one last hop to the

QKR Stampede store

and see the many fabulous images they have to offer.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
