Breast Cancer Awareness - My Story!

Hi everyone, it’s Michelle here today sharing a card I made for Breast Cancer Awareness month!

I am living proof of the importance of regular breast checks!  In October 2019 I got the news that threw me for six.  I had my regular mammogram which I was two months late having as I had been away and just put it off until after my holiday.  They found something that hadn’t been there in previous mammograms and called me back in to investigate. This certainly saved my life and long story short it was early stage but the very aggressive type.  I spent the next 9 months having treatment and so far so good!  Sadly I lost my sister to breast cancer in 2004 hence the regular mammograms.

I hope my story encourages you to have regular checks.

Early detection is the key and can save your life!

Now on to my card!  I used the Love Ribbon stencil with Catherine Pooler inks.  While the stencil was still in place I added some glitter paste which gave the little hearts some dimension and sparkle.

I die cut the “Just Breathe”  in white and black card stock and adhered them together to give that shadow effect.  I then adhered to the stenciled piece using liquid adhesive.
