Hip Hop and a Farewell!

Hip Hop!!

Thank for stopping by my blog today! If you started at the beginning of today's Unity and Ippity DT Hip Hop blog hop then you have made it through all the Unity DT girls' blogs and should have just left Karen's Ippity blog on your way to getting through the Ippity DT girls' blogs.  I hope you are finding lots of inspiration!

And follow the icons to each of the next blogs!

Many of you know Michelle Ogdahl as the previous Manager of Ippity.  She was kind of like the team mom for the DT too!  But most importantly from the minute I started working with her and especially upon meeting her in person for the first time at CHA Winter in Anaheim, she has been my friend!

She has decided, with the blessings of all of her Unity and Ippity friends to move on in a new direction in her life and the card that I have made for today will be sent to her to show her my love and support in all that she does and has done for us!  I love her to death and hope for continued success and happiness in her new life's travels!!  We will miss her for sure, but you never want to hold someone back from knowing when it is their time to make a change!!

Thanks for all you have done Michelle 

and I wish you the best in your New Beginning!!  ♥

The card I made is based on this week's Hip Hop Sketch Challenge which is pictured below!

I used DP from Pebbles May Bouquet Collection, Nesties Label 10 and the following Ippity Stamp sets...

To create the flower image in the centerpiece, I stamped it four times total.  First in green, then in golden yellow and cut out the whole flower, then again in orange and cut out the top layer of the flower and a fourth time onto scratch paper and cut it out for a mask.  Next, I placed the mask over the my flower and used my Copics' air brush system to spray the blue around the flower for the sky background. I purposely left a little of the green flower showing underneath at the bottom to create a shadow!  I also added some stickles to the flower center and below the sentiment!  

As we bid farewell to Michelle, we are also welcoming Amy as her replacement, (see the blog post about it here!) so all will be wonderful as always in the Unity and Ippity worlds!!  Hope you guys have a great day and enjoy the rest of the Hop.

Your next stop is Lisa A's blog!!  Enjoy!!
