When we think of breast cancer we think pink. So when my sister asked me to make a card for a friend that is facing the shock of a mastectomy I pulled out this lovely shade of pink and started putting this card together.
I embossed the white layer with Swiss dots then used MS border punch for the pink layer. The next white rectangle I pierced the scallop edging as I was praying for all the women facing breast cancer. Doing the delicate piercing is so repetitive that it's the perfect space to direct your thoughts to loving prayers.
I added the greens and tiny flowers with pearl centers, then attached a butterfly to complete the focal image. Next the focal image is placed over a horizontal pink and white rectangle, and the polka dotted ribbon gathers them together.
I'm not sure what sentiment my sister wants to add but I stamped this "Embrace Life" as a possibility.
The next card was inspired by Pinterest and some vintage prints. I just fell in love with this baby and had to make a card. I don't even know any one that's expecting...but I'll be ready.
Well the day has flown by and it's time to start dinner.
Be well and thanks for visiting.
