Pink and black are great colors to work with but I've been thinking Fall the last couple of weeks, so when I sat down to work on this challenge it took me a minute or two to come up with what I wanted to do. It all of a sudden came to me that this is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I have a kitchen full of cake pops that are being sold for a donation to Breast cancer research. Lynell released a Hope character during the summer CHA and I thought that would make a great card. So for all my friends who have fought this awful disease and survived this card is for you. I started with a black card I then layered the card with pink polka dot paper from DCWV and then I added a bow of black tulle. I know you would think I would assemble the card while my paste was drying but I was kind of in one of those backward moods. I then took Regular Embossing Paste and added Pink Blaze Metallic F/X to get a pretty color pink. I pasted the Hope Symbol (LL3018) with this mixture and let it dry. Then when it was dry I repositioned the stencil and daubed some glue over the top of the image (Palette Stamp and Stick Gluepad ) and brushed on the Pink Blaze Metallic F/X to add some shimmer. I used mounting tape to pop this layer and then added one of the cute hatpins that Dreamweaver sells for a little extra bling. This was a pretty simple card but fun to make.
Don't forget to stop by the other Dream Team Blogs and see what they came up with this week, the are a very creative group of ladies. HOPE to see you here next week and hope everyone has a very creative week.
Georgia....FABULOUS!!!! What a great way to express our wish, in a non-traditional way, meaning, the pink ribbon!! Fabulous job!! I don't know if you have a recipient for this card yet, but I have made tons of pink ribbon cards and mailed them to the Cancer Centers of America, all year long, not just October. If your interested, there are three or four locations, and you can find their mailing address at www.cancercenter.com

Georgia, you know what they say about great minds.. today's challenge is perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Love the touch of black tulle with the hatpin.
ReplyDeleteHey! I watched the Raiders play this week and so many of them were wearing hot pink gloves and tennis shoes etc. Very impressive to see these massive men play football with breast cancer awareness in mind. God bless them! And I love using the HOpe stencil for this BCA month as well. The little added bling of pink blaze on the paste was a good tip...will have to do that.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous, Georgia! I, too, immediately thought of using the Hope image with pink. You should send this in to the "Hope You Can Cling To" at Split Coast Stampers. This month all the cards go to the Anderson clinic for breast cancer. This would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteGeorgia, this turned out just beautiful! I love the hope stencil too, and the pink paste is the perfect way to give it extra meaning, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteA very nice card Georgia! That big Hope still throws me for a loop. I like what you have done with it!
