Amazingly enough both of these sketches are hosted by the lovely Silke Ledlow - and don't we just love Silke!! Silke has become such a dear crafting friend to so many of us and is always encouraging in her comments and totally inspiring with her work - congratulations Silke on hosting both of these challenges this week - I have had so much fun combining them!
I have used this gorgeous set from Crafty Secrets, I love this set and am so happy to have a chance to ink it up! I have stuck to the pink theme with just the tinest bit of sponging (I couldn't help myself - I am a self confessed sponging addict! LOL!)
The embossed layer is done with the paisley embossing and has been distressed and sponged. I cut the pink ribbon out and used 3D foam tape to 'pop it up' All of the edges have been sponged (of course)
Both the image and the sentiment sqaure have been layered onto pink CS and popped up on foam dots then adhere to white embossed CS which has been distressed and sponged. The word 'HOPE' has been stamped a second time and cut out, raised up on the foam dots and coloured with pink, to empasise the word HOPE! I have changed one thing - the pearls are at the oppposite end of the image than in the sketch - just ran out of room!!

That is truly lovely Linda - just gorgeous!! I love the girl holding up the pink ribbon!! So wonderful -and such gorgeous colours!!! One thing I'd love to see - is just people behind a ribbon - because so many men are also affected by cancer. Somehow the stamp companies seem to have forgotten that.
Lime green is the colour for lymphoma - the cancer that killed my dad two years ago - that is why companies need to think - oh! Men and women both struggle with cancer.
Just my 2 cents - but your card is most beautifully done!

Love your beautiful pink card. The image is so original. Love the different words that gives us all hope for a cure for this horrible disease. TFS Linda.
