HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!
I hope you take time to reflect on the real meaning of this holiday! I am forever grateful for all those that gave it all for me!
It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
I am the hostess this week and I created a fun sketch challenge for all of you! I hope you have fun and get creative. There are so many possibilities with this one.
I just found out that one of my best friends has breast cancer. She will have surgery this week and begin the process of chemo soon. I wanted to send this card to her because I love the sentiment.
I let my paper due all the work for me. I found a lemon lime green scrap in my stash and used it to back the panels and used it for my horizontal strip. I embossed it with a linen embossing folder. The paper was cut in vertical strips and adhered to the card. I used the die cut hummingbird and the sentiment on top of the panels. I popped the hummingbird up with dimensional tape for my height. I added a few pearls.

Claire I love the bold florals and hummingbird centrepiece and the sentiment is so appropriate; I hope it brings your friend comfort and strength. A beautiful card and great sketch this week!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to your friend as she begins her treatment, Claire. Even when the outcome is good, the journey is so, so tough--over the past several years, I have sent weekly cards to three different women who battled breast cancer (one of them being my mother). I am sure your beautiful card will brighten your friend's day and I think that's even more important in those circumstances.
ReplyDeleteYour friend will appreciate this card as much as she appreciates your friendship and encouragement! SO pretty---love that hummer! This is a lovely sketch too!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with your friend as she begins her journey, Claire. This card is so beautiful. The hummingbird is the perfect image, and I know your friend will appreciate it. Hugs to both of you!
ReplyDeleteClaire, my thoughts and healing prayers for your friend. A cancer diagnosis and journey is so tough and your thoughtful card with its beautiful sentiment is just perfect. Hugs to both of you
