I went ahead and made a card for the current CAS on Sunday Challenge #58: Cheer Up, Buttercup. I plan to send this card to a former colleague who is battling cancer and could use some cheering up. I hope it works!
I want her to believe...believe in healing, believe in hope, believe in her doctors, believe in those around her who offer support and love. Believe it will be OK.
I kept this card "clean and simple" by keeping it to one layer with one main image, lots of open white space, no embellishments, and it was very easy to create.
I love the artsy feel to these flowers...as soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to put them in the jar from the Oh So Fun stamp set by Precious Remembrance Shop. I roughly colored the images with Copic markers, then spritzed the whole thing with Perfect Pearls Mist and adhered to a pink card base. I love flat cards...so easy to mail.
Thank you for stopping by...I do appreciate your visits!

Lovely card Judy and I know your friend will appreciate at. As a cancer survivor (10 years) I know the importance of receiving cards, even from strangers, and that is why I make and share my cards as a way of paying it forward ." Fighting the fight" is the phrase I use, and "believe" is perfect. FYI there is a Rednecker stamp that has a flower and a large believe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Judy! Love those scribble flowers! I want to make a masculine card for a friend who also just received news of cancer.
ReplyDeleteYAY for your new PRS stamp set!! You did a beautiful job pairing the blossoms up with the mason jar image. This is such a pretty card Judy!
