Robin (Stamperrobin) hosted today's Free 4 All Challenge, and she provided a very creative one! Such an awesome challenge, Robin!! Her challenge, "National Day of ______?", is “to pick something to be YOUR "National Day of", which just says you!” I am a breast cancer survivor, therefore, my selection is a National Breast Cancer Survivor Day.
My card is a shaker card that features the breast cancer ribbon. I decided to use pink, green, and yellow colors for my card instead of just the typical pink for breast cancer. I added the extra colors to represent not only those on this terrible journal, but also those who are survivors.
On the main panel, I stamped the sentiment, So Glad You Are A Survivor, several times using VersaMark Ink. I then covered them with white embossing powder and heat set. Then I used the Emboss Resist technique on the panel. The ribbon in the center of the card is outlined with pink and yellow mini flowers.
My card will be sent to my 35-year-old niece who is just finishing breast cancer treatments.
Thanks for viewing!
Bev

Bev, your cards are always "masterpieces"....never anything "slap-dash" from you. This shaker card is beautiful with all you attention to tiny details and the BIG message it projects. My best wishes to your niece that this will all be behind her forever.
