All this month, Flourishes is helping Splitcoast honor those who are affected by Breast cancer. There's even a "Hope you can Cling to" card drive for some of the patients at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center -- fabulous cause.
So.. in light of that -- Flourishes is hosting a challenge of it's own! It started back on World Cardmaking day but runs through the end of the month!
HERE'S THE CHALLENGE! Since women come in all shapes and sizes -- let's honor that! There are tall and skinny, round and shapely, even a little boxy. So, let's ditch the A-2 sized cards #4-1/4" by 5-1/2"#and get creative. Anything goes! If you do that AND use ribbon, you'll get two entries! If you use a non-standard shape card, use ribbon and use the color pink, you'll have three chances to win! Let's see what you can create! When uploading to SCS, please use the keyword: FLLCWCMD10. You have until October 31st to enter and will have a shot at winning a goody bag which includes our Fight Like a Girl set supporting breast cancer survivors!
I chose to make my card a 4-1/2" square. I used one of the new Spellbinders Nestie dies - Eyelet Circles. After embossing, I sanded the edges. The circle was created with a circle die and Flourishes Classic White paper, embossed, and while the die was still on, I went and stamped all the sentiments from the Think Pink: Fight Like A Girl set in the center and then sponged on some pink Memento ink as well. Add a smaller eyelet circle, a smaller circle and then I stamped the survivor ribbon on decorative paper, cut out and mounted it in the center of my small circle. I also added some of the new ZVA rhinestone flourishes that are new to the Flourishes store. I used this one! Score and sand around the edges and... done! All the dp was from the Prima Annalee paper pack! And.... done!
