Mona Pendleton | Sunday, June 25, 2017 @ 12:41 PM | Oil Painting , PTI , PTI Blog Hop

Hi! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I'm joining along with the June PTI Blog Hop where the challenge is to create a project based on the inspiration photo shown below:

I'm always in need of cards to send to my dear sister as she continues to battle metastatic breast cancer which has spread to her brain. Thank you to my dear blogging friends for your prayers, kind thoughts and words.

I combined a couple of my favorite PTI stamps sets to create this card. The mini jar is from the PTI Friendship Jar Summer Fillers and the blossoms are from the PTI Twig Wreath stamp set:

I was also inspired to paint the jar of flowers on a 8" x 8" canvas using oil paints:

For card sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the current Fusion Card Challenge:

and I'm linking my painting to the Paint Party Friday site:

Many thanks for stoppig by ~ happy hopping!

I often think of you and your sister, and wonder how she is.. as you know, my sister went through the same, so I do have some idea of how you must be feeling..

Sending BIG BIG hugs for you both..
