Turner Syndrom Awareness Blog Hop

Hello Blogging Friends!!

Welcome to my project for the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop. 

Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born with only one X chromosome, instead of two, leaving her with life-long medical issues and learning disabilities. This condition occurs one in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is more common among pregnancies that do not survive to full term. That is why Turner Syndrome Females are considered MIRACLES.

Nineteen caring Sponsors and eleven DT Members have partnered with us to bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public. For details on how you might win any of these fabulous prizes, please see Lori's TS home page. Thanks for learning About Turner Syndrome. 

My TS related project uses colors from the TS official color board:

My project was pretty easy to create using various digital images and digital paper.  The focal point is a new digital stamp set created by my friend Donna Ellis. (You can find it here.) To give it added dimension, I resized and printed the butterfly a couple different times and fussy cut these out.  I added Nuvo glitter (Turquoise) to the outlines of each of the butterflies and folded the wings of the smaller ones upward.   I also added a couple lines of double sided tape along the bottom of the second layer of blue matting and covered it with more Turquoise glitter.

The sentiment is also a digital image created by Donna for the participants of this blog hop as a "thank you for participating" gift.  I changed the color to coordinate with the colors from the official TS color board. The digital paper is one that I've had for a long time and unfortunately, I don't remember who the manufacturer was.

The card base was created from a piece of glossy photo paper.  I wanted to see if you could do some of the same types of techniques on the photo paper as you could on regular glossy paper. For this one, I spritzed several different colors of Nuvo Shimmer Powders onto the photo paper and spritzed it with water.  I allowed each layer of color to dry before adding more colors.  I kept doing this until I was happy with the results.  It was so much fun, that I created a whole batch of backgrounds for future use.

Now it's time to head back to the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Inaugural Blog Hop page. Check the "How to Win" section to see the requirements needed to be eligible for prizes.  You'll also find who the next person on the blog hop is.
