I wanted to make a card that would let the person receiving it know how special they are and to keep up the fight. One of the things I learned from my aunt is how discouraged you can get while going through this crises in your life. It is meant as a gentle reminder to keep going, one day at a time. I used two coordinating dp's from Cosmo Cricket's-Tea for Two 6x6 paper pad and Bazzill Basics Paper-Pinkini to create my card. I love the nestie friendly stamps that Claire at Waltzingmouse Stamps created to work with Spellbinders Labels. I used two of the Very Vintage Labels 10 stamps for the front & inside, stamped each one in Memento Angel Pink and die cut each with a Labels 10 die. Both sentiments are from Verve, the quote by Snyder is from One Person and the inside sentiment is from Words of Wisdom, and were stamped in Memento Rosebud. I've kept it simple and sweet by adding pearls to the corners, paper flowers from Recollections, and a strip of decorative ribbon (which we were asked to do) for the Strip Tease challenge at SCS. You can view the gallery for this challenge by clicking here and hopefully it will provide inspiration in creating your own cards. :)
Have a wonderful weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by! Before I go, I'd like to welcome my new followers and thank those of you who leave a sweet comment for me. It means so much!
Hugs,
Lisa
