1. Out of the three images shown, I chose the light switch plates......maybe because the Photographer is an electrician? Who knows!
2. I made this card for my sister-in-law's sister who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently going through chemo.
3. I am amazed how many families are affected by breast cancer and sadly, I suppose it was just a matter of time before it touched someone in our family.
4. Misty is not a stamper, but my neice just introduced her to it thinking it would keep her mind off things, give her something to do while she is away being treated, give her something fun to look forward to.
5. Michelle bought her a few supplies and a stamp set and Misty stamped for 8 hours straight. She loves it!
6. I have started a RAK request in the Need a Lift forum requesting cards for Misty. Not only will they support her, cheer her up, but they will be wonderful examples for a newbie stamper!

As usual this is beautiful. I love how you sponged and left the centers white. Nice effect. Please pm me Misty's address so I can get a card off to her. TFS

Cindy, first off, sorry to hear about your sil. I'm sure this card and the many others that are going to be coming her way, will cheer her up immensely! Back to the card.....they really have a speckled bkgrd stamp? I thought maybe you used the toothbrush and paint technique to achieve the speckles. A stamp would be so much more cleaner! lol Love the look of each panel. You have done a great job here all around! TFS :0)
