I saw the request for cards for Victoria, a girl fighting cancer, on yesterday's colour challenge thread. I couldn't use my cc card for Victoria so I made this one instead.
I stamped the scribble petal on some dp (BasicGrey Phoebe) and glued it down. I freehand cut a stem and leaves. The bee is paper pieced (body only). I added some faux stitching, being crooked and uneven is all the more like my machine stitching.... For a final touch, I used my Sakura glitter pen to add sparkle to the flower centre and to the bee's wings.
The sentiment inside is from an old set and says, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:8 What do you put in a card for a teenage girl with cancer???? I thought this was the closest thing I had in stamps to something that captured both the gravity of the situation and a sense of hopefulness.
