Today's ways to use it challenge was to use staples. I had just purchased some pink staples and envisioned a breast cancer card featuring the Strength and Hope stamp set. I wanted to use the soft subtle pinks paired with the hardness of the wood grain framing coupled with the staples for strength. The wood grain is accomplished by inking the Distressed Texturz plate with Soft Suede ink then running through the piece of soft suede card stock and cutting out the frame. The bg is stamped in Pink Pirouette then over-stamped in Pretty in Pink.

Pink staples! Now we will all want pink staples! Your wood grain looks really good and I like the thought you put with the "subtle pinks paired with the hardness of the wood grain framing coupled with the staples for strength" kind of like the nuances of women.
Very pretty card.

Gail, this is a lovely card and I appreciate your thought process in creating this "Hope & Strength" card. A breast cancer patient or survivor will certainly appreciate your caring and creativity.
I marvel at your PERFECTLy parallel multiple stapling!!
