Julia, I could play all day on this challenge...too many wonderful words...I even changed my word I was gonna use with this WT. Guess that just means I'll have to fit another one in.
I do hope ya'll don't get tired of my Foundations of Women stamp from B Line designs...I simply adore this beautiful girl so ripe with meaning! Today I chose to clothe her in BG Perhaps paper group. I inked the image onto Neenah smooth white with Adirondack pitch black. Don't know if you can tell, but I even painted (using a watercolor pencil in rose pink) the nudes' fingernails and toes! My Word is stamped in TH di mustard seed to compliment the heels. I found a ribbon in my stash that seemed to be just perfect for a 'pink ribbon symbol' The lovely vintage frame is from Printworks. It is stamped with Archival black and embossed with clear ep. I used the Fiskars eyelet punch (SU purely pomegranate) for the left trim and the narrow band under the edge of my card.
I'm delivering this card today to a dear co-worker who had a double mastectomy in the spring and is waiting for reconstruction early next year. She is an inspiration to me not only for her courage, but also her grace! Thanks for you comments...I so appreciate all the SUPPORT my friends on SCS give to me on a daily basis!

Susan, this will be such a wonderful message of support for your coworker! I will never tire of this great image - love how you've dressed her today - you even painted her nails! The punched border and frame for the sentiment are perfect!

Fabulous card Susan and I'm sure your friend will adore it and the double message that goes along with it. I wish her well for her approaching surgery. I think this is my favourite stamp of yours too LOL, it really is stunning. I love the paper piecing of the skirt which has a great retro look, perfect for this. The sentiment and frame are wonderful, I really love the message. Hugs.

I always so enjoy peeking into your creative mind. This is wonderful. My first look at this stamp. That nude has borrowed my exact love handles and slight saddlebags, but I would love to have her waist--maybe I need that girdle!! Your friend will be so encouraged by your thoughtfulness.
