With this month's Bella Show & Tell challenge, Vicki asked us to answer the question "who are you?" My selection of Bellas is limited, but the one that immediately popped in my head was Causabella.
My Causabella is supporting a cure for diabetes. My daughter has Type 1 diabetes and we just happened to sign up for our 3rd "Walk for a Cure" with JDRF today. There is nothing that I want more than a cure for diabetes. At 3 3/4 years old, she has seen and experienced far too many pokes and prods since her diagnosis at 18 months.
Since the diabetes cause ribbon is a blah gray, I had to spice this up a bit. I added a drop of blood to represent the testing. Bella's a knockout in red, accented by a chic black flower. The flowers are Gina K sateen flowers that I colored with Copics.
Accessories: Nesties, May Arts ribbon, Gina K sateen flowers, Recollections brads, Copics E37, C-3, 100, R29, E00, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots, Royal Red Shimmerz

I love it! I think the red and gray actually work well together. How sweet that you could make a card to honor your daughter. Love the flowers and the bling!
You did a great job with the challenge! Thanks for playing!

What a touching card. It has to be so hard to see your lil' one go through all that at such a young age.
I love what you did to Bella's Ribbon, the colors work so well together, love the polka dot ribbon

As much as I love this card I love the meaning behind it that much more. Hoping and wishing for a cure for your daughter and all the other children out there with diabetes! Great job!
