This is for a group of us who have a little fun with our challenges. This weeks challenge was to make a RAK card for someone on a list of four names chosen from the RAK forum. I however, recieved special dispensation this week as I had 5 cards to make for raising money for Cancer..
Sometimes it troubles me that we only ever see pink associated with Cancer - and images of women... because breast cancer/ and women's cancers are but one of the many types on Cancer's that afflict, and sometimes kill people.
Lime Green is the colour that represents Lymphoma, a blood cancer which took my dad's life a year ago.. over a period of 2 years. I made a guy card - and he is wearing a lime green stickles ribbon to recognize that kind of cancer, plus I tried to use lime shebert Bazzil paper..
Thanks for looking!! In honour of my dear dad!
