Hi! This card set was made using Flourishes' new set:THINK PINK! This set is geared toward Breast Cancer Victims/Survivors, and itÂ’s pretty hip and full of other elements. (The flamingo has ribbons on it, if you look closely.)
My 13 year old niece is a member of a boys soccer team. She’s a Forward on the team, lean, fast, aggressive, but very feminine off the field. While at a game, I heard the coach scream, “Hey, FIGHT like a girl for that ball!!!” And, she did! She got the ball, and scored! YIPEE!!! This same child is still recovering from breast cancer surgery.
So, I thought IÂ’d make this FIGHT LIKE A GIRL box of cards for her. These are 3x3 cards and fit today's Stampin' B's Challenge.
I stamped the image and sentiment in Espresso and embossed them in clear. I colored with Copic Markers.

A girly-girl playing soccer -- good for her! Apparently she's keeping up with the boys, too! This will be a great gift for her. Very very cute set! And the stamps will help a good cause!

I'm so very sad that your 13-yr old niece has to live through breast cancer at her young age, but hopefully she's on her way to a full recovery and killing the beast!
Your cards are adorable and she's sure to love them, especially with such a personal sentiment on them Great job
