Hi there!! Thanks for joining us for the May Calling All Sistahs Blog Hop! It's such an awesome reminder for you to CHECK YOURSELF each and every month!! Kudos to Michele & Heather for everything they've done to organize this hop!! I personally had to have breast surgery in April 2014. I can't tell you how very relieved I was to hear the doctor say "no cancerous cells were found". I'll never forget it!
My card uses one of the Scallop Tag Fri-Dies as the focal point. I covered a piece of cardstock with strips of pink and silvery grey washi tape, then die cut the tag. I also die cut the Hope Fri-Die from the tag so that I could use the die cut inlay technique. I replaced the word with a cut from pink cardstock. I stenciled the background with grey ink and added the supportive sentiment from the Calling All Sistahs stamp set, heat embossed with grey. I finished the card with a bit of grey baker's twine and silver sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. Did you know that CFS donates 50% of the profits from items in the Calling All Sistahs collection to breast cancer research and awareness programs? That's so awesome right?!?! Woo-hoo!
