Today I have a very pink card for you. It seems appropriate as
it's October and Breast Cancer Awareness month. If you haven't checked your
breast yet, stop reading right now and go and do it. It is very important to
get anything suspicious checked out right away. I had a scare last year and it
was horrible waiting for the test results so I get it's scary. I was one of the
lucky ones and got an all-clear. Not everyone is so lucky but key is early
detection so go have a thorough check-up. If you aren't sure what to look for
or how to do it, there are several breast cancer websites that will show you.
Right, now I have been quite bossy enough, I'll get down to the
crafty side of things. I used the gorgeous Splendid Roses stamp again, it's
just so stunning I couldn't help myself. I coloured it in with Copics, using
soft pinks for the petals and greens for the leaves. Once I finished colouring,
I fussy cut the image.
For the actual background I decided on using a polka dot
patterned paper from a Lawn Fawn pad. To frame the card, I also cut a stitched
rectangle in white linen paper using Lawn Fawn dies again (I'm slightly
obsessed with them) I stamped a sentiment in pink ink on a banner cut out of
kraft paper to keep the look soft.
The roses that I fussy cut out earlier was adhered to the card
panel using 3mm thick foam tape to create dimension. To create another layer, I
added the banner using 2mm thick foam tape. For some finishing touches, I used
some sequins from the Pink Champagne and Moonbeam mixes.
That's it from me today, I'm not my usual rambling self as I'm
not very well at the moment *sniff sniff, cough cough* I'll make it up to you
next time with lots of jibber-jabber.
Happy crafting,
Erica
So beautiful!
