The challenge is to use a handle, so I braided some twine and fashioned into a handle, which just happens to be the same shape as the cancer pink ribbon.
Coloring this stamp was fun. I tried something new stamping the image with distressed ink and colored with Tombow markers. The distressed ink became fluid with water and blended with the markers.

I'm so impressed with your gallery, Gail. And this card is no exception. Beautifully executed. Using your twine as the rope and fashioning it as the Breast Cancer symbol was a lovely addition. I also liked the added interest to this by tearing the paper around the image - just beautiful!

Awesome card. Your design and coloring is wonderful and your idea to use the rope as a handle for the challenge is clever beyond words.
