I stamped the image "Support Bird" from Outlines Rubber Stamps onto X-Press It cardstock using Marvy black dye ink, two times so I could achieve some dimension on the bird's wing and the support ribbon. I colored the image with Copic markers. Some accents of Stickles and pearls from an Ice White Viva Pearl Pen were added. I cut around the image with my Cutterbee scissors. The wing and the support ribbon were raised using Pop-Dots.
The sentiment is also from the Outlines Rubber Stamp Company. It is from "Posy Winter Greetings". It too is stamped with Marvy black dye ink onto X-Press It cardstock. I colored it with Copic markers. Some Stickle highlights were added.
Nestabilities dies were used to cut the circle and the lacey circle, using pink cardstock and patterned paper (unknown source, sorry...it was a scrap). I paper pierced around the circle. The large square panel is patterned paper from 7 Gypsies, and it too was paper pierced and framed using pink cardstock.
A sheer white ribbon puts the finishing touches on the card.

Oh, how pretty this is - I can't believe all the pretty shades and hues of light pink you've managed to achieve with your coloring and stamping - it's so whimsical and meaningful with the sweet bird and hope ribbon! Thanks so much for playing along in the "lookin' up" challenge for such a great cause!
