Welcome to the Farewell FCD Blog Hop! This is both a happy and sad day; can you believe the doors are almost closed? Make sure you do your shopping early before your favorite designs are all gone - more than half the store is gone already or down to only one or two pieces left! Hurry, Hurry! FCD Store closes forever on Dec 15, 2010 (or sooner if sold out)
So, the theme for this hop kind of evolved so you may see an eclectic set of themes. It started out as Word Play - make art based on a favorite poem. We added a Fall Theme bailout plan for those who hyperventilate over the poetry theme. grin. THEN came the announcement the store was closing, so we piggy-backed a Farewell theme onto the Word/Fall theme. Designers only had to meet one of the 3 themes, so you'll have lots of interesting art to see!
Since I was completely behind the 8-ball this month, I went with a Fall/Farewell theme. I would have loved to play with the Word Art theme, too, but just didn't have time to work it in. I used so much water on the above piece, it ended up looking kind of like tooled leather. I like it.
My card uses an FCD Digi Flower Harvest Honey. I wanted it to look water-colory so I colored it with markers, and spritzed the heck out of it. Then added a few dibbles of Distress re-inkers and water color pencil to refresh the washed out markers. I love the way it bled out. :o)
The Aloha word comes from the Happy The Hedge Hog set. (hurry - he's still in stock, and only 4.49 for the whole set!!)
Please leave a comment on all the blogs to up your chances for the Blog Candy Pamela will give away. Hop closes Monday, October 25, 2010 at 8Pm EST.
Now continue your Farewell Journey by visiting the lovely, and very talented Karyn! And please don't forget to wish Miss Pamela well when you get to her blog!
