I made this card to send off for a dear friend that recently sent out a plea for help.   I hope she is reading so that she can see the card I’ll be sending to her mother. She has just been diagnosed with cancer and I wanted to find something boldy optimistic.   I will definitely be praying for her and I hope the words will give her some strength.  I’ve pulled together some scripture to tuck inside with my handwritten note.

The card is fairly straight forward.  This is the coolest paper!! The design paper has sparkly polka dots and the other deep pink piece of paper has holes in it!

ETA:  Some have asked where to get this stamp.  I purchased at Hobby Lobby however I have seen it online HERE.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Paper Inspirations – Survivor Calligraphy
Paper:  Making Memories – Sparkly Polka Dot; Creative Inspirations
Ink:   Colorbox Chalk Inks – Orchid Pastel
Accessories:  Nestabilities – Long Classic Scallop Rectangle, Prima Flowers, Dew Drop, Crystal Brad, White Brads Ribbon

Don’t forget to leave a comment for blog candy on this post sometime before noon CST on Saturday, 10/18/08!!

    Hi, Becca.. This is a gorgeous cad, and I’m sure your friend’s mother will appreciate it.

    I hope she knows that cancer is not always a killer. I have had breast cancer twice in the past seven years and had a double mastectomy, and the first time, it took nine months to get the doctors to agree there was something wrong. No, the surgery and treatment have not been pleasant experiences, but now my prognosis is excellent. It is not going to kill me.

    It’s not great news, but I hope your friend’s mother knows that a diagnosis is not necessarily a death sentence. It is just the beginning of the fight.

    I pray that she will have the support she needs to help her get through this to the other side.

    Hugs,
    Chris xxReplyCancel

    Becca –
    This card is absolutely stunning!!! My sister (who is a survivor as well) is having a birthday this week. I just searched for tihs stamp and cannot find it in stock. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe I can find it before Chrismtas.

    Thank you for your inspiration,

    A prayer for a complete recovery for your friend’s mother going up right now. I know that the card will bless her, but even more, she will find great comfort and strength in the scriptures enclosed in your card. May God bless her, strengthen her, gird her for the battle ahead, and fill her with great faith, courage, and hope.

    Your card is really beautiful Becca- outside and inside.

Nothing like a poinsettia to get you in the Christmas mood!  This is one of the Flourishes new releases, Poinsettia and Boxwood.  There are 10 images in the set including a large and small poinsettia and leaves.  It’s such an elegant image and the possibilities are endless.

I wanted to make a pink and white poinsettia.  I stamped the poinsettia four times on watercolor paper – one embossed but not colored to use as a base.  Two full poinsettia were colored and stacked on top of each other and from the final poinsettia I cut out just the center leaves and popped them up. The images are embossed with Gold Embossing powder and colored with Tombow markers.   Corner pieces were added, as well as a tag and a final ribbon.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Flourishes – Poinsettia and Boxwood
Paper:  Swathmore 140 lb Watercolor
Ink:  Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder
Accessories:  Nestabilities Tag Trio, Ribbon, 2 Gold Brads, Tombow Markers
 

Don’t forget to check out my Blog Candy Post  below, I will be selecting a winner on Saturday.  Have a Happy Stamping Weekend!!
