In addition to this blog hop, You can read more about her story and ways you can help on the Card Drive and Fundraising post on her blog.
Here is the mood board for the event:
Then I layered the sweet fawns over the top with some dimensional tape. Since this card is supposed to feel uplifting for the parents, I also added the sentiment "Think Happy Thoughts" from our Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set.
To create the sky I used our Cloudy Sky Stencil with white embossing paste to create some textured clouds in the sky. Then I inked over it with blue ink and wiped the ink off from the clouds. I also cut a panel of white with a cloudy edge for the bottom using our Sky Borders Die Set. This was the perfect place to add the "share my umbrella" sentiment from the Umbrella Pals Stamp Set.

I was so inspired by this sweet woodland theme I created two cards for this hop:
For the first card used our Deer Friend Stamp Set and colored two of the sweet little fawns using Derwent watercolor pencils and a water brush. I then cut them out using the coordinating Deer Friend Die Set to layer them onto the card. For the card base I cut out the white scallop edge panel using our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then I layered the blue sky and grey hills over the top, cutting the hills out wiht our Land Borders Die Set.
For my second card I used our new Umbrella Pals Stamp Set. I thought the bear and raccoon umbrella would go perfectly with the woodland theme! I stamped them and colored them with zig watercolor brush markers and gave the umbrella handles a bright yellow accent. I cut them out using the coordinating Umbrella Pals Die Set to layer them onto the card.
