It's the 17th of the February, have you checked yourself lately? Here is your monthly reminder to do your breast exams and schedule your yearly mammograms. A few short minutes could save your life or give you peace of mind. Every month I join the Encouragement Squad and Michele from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps to give you this reminder. Here's my card for February.
Stamps: Hope Ribbon (CAS-ual Fridays Stamps)
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Bristol Cardstock (Strathmore) Basic Black (SU)
Accessories: Bluish Gold No 91, Deep Pink No 37 paint (Gansai Tambi) Harleen Stencil (Winnie & Walter) Ruffled Ribbon Fri-Die (CAS-ual Fridays Stamps) Sistahood Sparkle Sequins (Pretty Pink Posh for CFS) White Embossing Powder (WOW)
I was in a watercolor mood when I made this card. This card was actually created at the same time I made my card for the December reminder. (clicky if you want to see that card) I painted a piece of cardstock with a light wash, dried it and stamped/embossed the hope ribbon. Next I die cut my ribbon and painted in some of the hearts with a drier brush using the same deep pink paint.
I was left with a puddle of pink paint on my craft sheet, so I grabbed a stencil and another piece of cardstock. I dropped the stencil into the paint and swirled around to pick up some of that paint. I then laid it onto another piece of cardstock and spritzed it with water to get the paint off the stencil and onto the background. I removed the stencil and splattered with some gold paint, then finished the card off by adding my ribbon, some sistahood sequins and a black strip sentiment. Such a fun use of my "leftovers". :)
Be sure to head on over to the Calling All Sistahs blog to see what the rest of the team has created and come back tomorrow for a new encouragement challenge!
