Faith, Hope, Fight, Love - TMS #717

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  The card I've got today was simple to make, but not easy to make.  A dear friend has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, so I made this for her... 

I don't have much purple and thought the lavender would work, but I realized it was too light.  I cut 2 layers of Die-versions Whispers Awareness Square in lavender and one in black, layered them for some dimension, then colored the top layer with a purple Spectrum Noir marker.  

Here's our sketch...

For a cause - C4G #183

It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!   This challenge is "for a cause."  It could be breast cancer or any other cancer awareness, autism awareness, adoption, earth day, or whatever other cause you want to create a card for.  Mine is for breast cancer awareness as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  

My die is Die-versions Whispers Awareness Square.  I've made a few cards with this recently in different colors for different cancers, but this one is pink for BCA.  I cut it in pink 2 times and stacked them.  I cut it once in black for the bottom to make it stand out against the pink BG.  The paper is Colorbok Love.  The sentiment is one I've had printed for a long time and I don't remember where it's from, but I have multiple sheets printed and use it often!  It's cut out using Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. 

Come play along at Cardz 4 Galz and show us what cause is dear to your heart!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Faith, Hope, Fight, Love - TMS #627

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  And this is October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I chose that theme for my card...

I'd been wanting to use this die and when I saw this week's sketch, I knew it would be perfect to feature it.   This is Die-versions Whispers Awareness Square.  I did cut several layers of the pink and put a black layer on the bottom to give some dimension since popping up a die with narrow cuts is always a challenge.  My paper is Colorbok Love.  

Here's the sketch...  (You can see by my use of this die that the elements/shapes are always open to interpretation.  We just need to be able to recognize the sketch.)

October is a great month for many reasons, and one of those reasons is Breast Cancer Awareness.   I'm sure we all have either been directly affected by breast cancer or we know someone who has been.

I saw a card made with this Die-Versions Awareness Square die awhile ago and have been wanting it.  Last month, I got it and this is the first card I made using it.  My DP is MME Indie Chic Saffron.  The pink BG is embossed with Darice Dots.  The panel behind the die is cut with Spellbinders Celebra'tions Pierced Squares.   The flowers are Prima and the leaves are Spellbinders Foliage.

Hope, Courage, Faith, Strength

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and though I'm slow, I've made a card in honor of that.

Diane of Daydream Designs has made several wonderful awareness sets this month!!  I used the Hope Endures Sentiment Pack Pink.

My thoughts and prayers are with those of you who are in the fight with this horrible disease and for those of you who are standing along side a loved one of friend who is fighting!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!
