Good Monday everyone! I was so excited to see today's TLC! We were to use pink in our card and twinkling H2O's for a shimmer.... and this is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month... so many of these cards are going to the chemo angels to send out to those who need the encouragement! I'm so thrilled about that!
This card uses the OCCC sketch, which I love. I stamped the mellow moss bg with the leaves from Embrace Life in mellow moss ink. I ran the unknown pink through the bug with the birds and vines ef and the GPW layer with the swiss dot. Both were cut with Nesties. I stamped the sentiment from Refuge and Strength in Archival black and then stamped the tiny flower from Embrace Life in Versa Mark and clear embossed. I stamped the big flower from Embrace Life in Archival Black then colored with Prisma Pencils, and then painted with Twinkling H2O's for that shimmer. I added stickles to the stamens and center of the flower. I punched ferns from River Rock and attached the ribbon with a sparkly pink brad. Then I popped up the flower with the ferns tucked in. I wanted this card to be as soft and pretty, and as feminin as I could get it... and though the photo does not show the shimmer, I think I achieved the look I was going for. I hope it will be an encouragement to whomever receives it!
As always.... thanks so much for looking! May I encourage you all to say a prayer for each person who receives these cards!
