The Paper Shelter Tribute - in honour of those we love

 Welcome to my blog!


This week and next, rather than running our usual Blog Hop, the Design Team at The Paper Shelter is honouring our beautiful co-founder Veronica, who tragically left us on the 25th of September 2024.


Veronica was a kind, supportive, beautiful soul, who alongside her co-founder Pedro, produced the images we all know and love to create with.

There is a vacuum in the world today, where Veronica used to be, and we all miss her terribly.

Veronica, you are forever a dear friend, a beautiful soul and forever in my heart!

***********



Veronica so enjoyed creating the new colouring books, so I wanted to use one of the very beautiful images from the Angelic Grace colouring book.  The image is the star of the card.  I coloured her with Copics, added some background lace, and some flowers and beaded twirls and a sentiment.




Our winner for our TRIBUTE challenge will win a 6 products of your choice if you've used a Paper Shelter product on your entry (you could choose the pre-coloured image, the black and white digi, or the digital paper that comes in the set), or 3 products of your choice, if you've used another brand.  You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.
