I'm sure you all know someone who has had breast cancer or is currently living
and dealing with the disease, whether it be a relative, friend, or neighbor. Personally,
my Mom was a breast cancer survivor so I'm well aware of monthly self-checks,
early detection, and yearly mammograms.
I'm thrilled to be a part of this surprise Hop for Hope for Ellen Hutson!
You should have arrived here from Carolyn's blog. If not, start at the beginning
at the Ellen Hutson Classroom. And here's a list of the blogs, in case you get lost.
I was proud to purchase this Courage stamp and die set, knowing that half of the
proceeds from the sale of the set would go towards the Breast Cancer Reasearch
Foundation. Here's my card for the hop, using my favorite sentiment in the set.
After die cutting a bunch of awareness ribbons from watercolor card stock, I ink
distressed them (in pink, of course!) and spattered them with water. Thanks to the
incredible Misti I was able to stamp the sentiment both on the ribbon and the card,
then line them up and adhere the ribbon to the card.

The crown was silver embossed and adhered to the ribbon, and the card was finished off
with some clear rhinestones.
With a stash of pink awareness ribbons, I created two more cards using the same
technique and the Misti.

You can still purchase this amazing Courage set exclusively in the Ellen Hutson store
and know that you're contributing to the BCRF to help further breast cancer research.
Next on the hop is the awesome Heather Campbell. Let's go and see what she created
with the Courage set--I just know it will be something pink and amazing!

ReplyDeleteYour distressing is perfect as is that lovely shade of pink. Nicely done Donna.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to be on a blog hop with you, my friend! Love how you got so much dimension on the ribbons using ink blending!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna ~ I love the CAS look of all of your cards and the way you adapted the sentiment for either someone still fighting or a survivor. Thanks so much for being a part of this important hop and I hope you have a great week. ~HUGS~
