This is my card for Gail's HYCCT1521 relationships matter challenge. She wants us to use an image depicting a friend or family relationship or a sentiment focused on relationship (mom, sister, friend, etc). I focused on the sentiment with my "friends" word.
She also mentioned making an extra card today and mail it to someone you care about. I went a bit of a different route with this suggestion.
I made this card today and will send it to my friend. She is also battling breast cancer. I made this card the other day for another HYCCT challenge and will mail it to the MD Andersen center. They are similar in that I used the
CC553 colors and same stamp set, but I changed this one around a bit.
For my background on this one, I used the honeycomb stencil and sponged in pear pizzazz ink. On the other I used bermuda bay ink. My leaves are stamped in old olive and I changed the placement of them.
I stamped the sun but didn't add the extra circle like I did in the other card. I spritzed elegant eggplant ink on the background with a toothbrush for some added interest.
To finish off this card, I used 2 die cuts. My butterfly is cut in calypso coral on this card. I used elegant eggplant for the body and antenna and added some pearls.
I die cut my friends word from bermuda bay cardstock. And, I layered all of this on a calypso coral base instead of bermuda bay.

What a pretty collage of stamped elements with the twine and mesh. Glad you'll be sending one to a friend too! Thanks for playing along in my challenge Mary!

I love that your two cards are so alike and yet so different from each other. They're both beautiful! Your friend will love this card as she battles her cancer!
