Be Strong – I’m Here for You
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I made this card for the TE Sketch Challenge on Friday and thought I’d share a little bit more about it today. I combined the sketch challenge with Lori’s Hope You Can Cling To challenge on SCS to use pink bling on a card. The Hope You Can Cling To challenges are going on all month at Splitcoast (there’s a new one posted every day!). It’s a great opportunity to try a challenge and get involved in the fight against breast cancer by creating a card to send to the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. I’ll be sending this card along with a few others that I hope to create before the end of the month. It makes me happy to know that something I made might bring joy to someone fighting breast cancer. You can find out more about the challenges and the card drive HERE!
For my card I used the beautiful Moka Hope. And in case you missed our latest release, Moka Hope is one of our new October stamps and we’ll be donating $1 for each set that is purchased to Susan G. Komen for the Cure! I started by stamping Hope in Memento Rich Cocoa and coloring her with Copics. I cut her out using Spellbinders Labels 17 and then added soft pink rhinestones and plum pearls to her scarf. I added more pearls and rhinestones along the side and stamped the ‘Be Strong’ sentiment randomly on the left. The patterned paper is from the My Mind’s Eye Vanity Fair 6×6 pad.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
