I still had half the sheet of coloured card I'd made for yesterday's MIX21 challenge, so I used it as a panel for the current ODBD sketch challenge. A couple of weeks back when the challenge was to make an encouraging card, I'd wanted to make one for a friend whose first cancer operation was unsuccessful so she straight away had to have a mastectomy. But life here has been crazy, so I didn't get one made then. This will go in the post to her tomorrow.
A2 base. White embossed card matted on black.
My coloured panel was created as follows: when I was washing bright H2Os onto card for the MixAbility challenge, I was using a piece of kitchen towel (Bounty) to wipe the brush dry. It looked beautiful with all the colours on it, so I Mod-Podged it onto some white card, and when it was dry I brushed over it with gesso. After that was dry too, I embossed it.
For the oval panel I used Be Joyful and Scripture Series 3. The flowers are coloured with pencils, and have Stickles in the centres. I added some Liquid Pearls to the scallops, to tie in with the polka dotted ribbon. 3 black gems finished off the sketch. Image panel popped up on foam.

LOVE the story of you BG! It works so nicely with the florals surrounding your verse and the jeweled oval and the ribbon are perfect together! Lovely card!

WOW! I LOVE this one too! Sabrina, this is gorgeous!!! So impressed, three cards-each so unique yet they all started the same way! The flowers pulling the colors from your background look perfect and I love how you have the dots, polka dots and gems in a dot shape. The verse is fantastic too! You aced this MIX!!!
This is absolutely gorgeous! What a transformation of a Bounty towel....love the blooms surrounding the scripture, too. This is such a dear promise from God's word; I will pray that it brings your friend special comfort.
