Thinking of You!!

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

Larissa here today to share a Thinking of You Card!! I've got a few friends who are battling Cancer and I like to send Cards just to let them know I'm thinking of them!! Especillay during these unusual times when no visitors are allowed in the treatment centers or around those with already compromised immune systems!! I LOVE that CAS-ual Fridays Stamps has these AMAZING Products to help create Cards!! Here's what I've create for today!! 

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the Word Ribbon onto some Distress Watercolor Paper and the Pretty Posies Flower!! I used Distress Oxide Ink in Worn Lipstick to Ink over the entire Ribbon and then add some Water Splatters for some Texture!! I used Copic Markers to Color the Pretty Posie in RV00, RV04 & RV09!! I Die Cut the Pretty Posie out using the coordinating Posies Fr-Dies Then I added a Flower Die Cut from the   Die Set and added a Sparkling Clear Sequin and a Pearl in the center!! I Die Cut the Word Ribbon Image out using the Ruffled Ribbon Die and I wanted to the Word Ribbon to POP up off the Card Panel so I layered 5 Cardstock Ruffled Ribbon Die Cuts from some Pink Cardstock and glued them all together!! 

For the Background I Inked with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and then I added some Water splatters and some Distress Black Soot Paint Splatters!! I also wanted to add some Hickory Smoke Splatters so I used the Splatter Images from the Bomb Diggity Stamp Set!! I like the way that they ground the Ribbon!! A few more Pearls were added around the Ribbon and then I added a Stamped and Embossed a Sentiment on the inside of the Card and wrote my personal message and my Card was done!! I hope you'll remember to keep those going through medical challenges on your list of HAPPY MAIL recipients as I KNOW first hand those are some of the most meaningful Cards to receive!!

So for my Card today I wanted to create an Encouragement Card for a SWEET friend who's battling Uterine Cancer!! This Lil' Snow Angel is PERFECT for so many occasions!!

 

 I wanted a BEAUTIFUL Sparkling Snowflake background to go along with both the Snow Angel Image and the Sentiment I wanted to use on my Card!! I Started by Inking my Background using some Distress Ink in Royal Velvet!! I added some Water Droplets for some Texture and then used an Anti-Static Tool to run over my entire Panel!! I Stamped and Embossed Several of the Snowflake Images from both the Joy and Sugar Plum Fairy Stamp Sets using Versa Mark Embossing Ink then I Embossed them with WoW Glitter Embossing Powder in Fools Gold!! It's a STUNNING Gold Embossing Powder with a Mauve/Rose Gold Glitter!! In real life its just GORGEOUS!! I added some White and Black Paint Splatters using some Distress Paint in Black Soot and Picket Fence!! Then I added some Shine and Dimension to several of the Snowflake Centers using Pretty Pink Posh Snowflake Sequins and some Tonic Studios Nuvo Glitter Drops in Summer Sunrise!! I Stamped and Embossed the Word Ribbon Image and then Die Cut it out using the Ruffled Ribbon Fri Dies!! I used WoW Gold Pearl Glitter Embossing Powder and I just LOVE the look against those Snowflakes!! I really brings out the delicate detail of the Snowflake Images!!

I Stamped ans Embossed the NEW "Snow Angel" Image and Colored it on using Copic Markers!! I used (Skin: E00, E11 & E13  Cheeks: RV11  Hair: E31, E33 & E37  Halo: YR23  Robe: RV00, RV11 & RV34  Wings: W0, W2 & W5)  I added Glitter Nuvo Drops in Summer Sunrise to the center of the Snowflakes on her Robe and then I Stamped and Embossed the sentiment onto some Black Cardstock and Embossed it with some WoW Embossing Powder in White!! I added some White Pigment ink to the outside edges of the Sentiment strip to make it not as harsh against my background and then add some more Glitter Nuvo Drops to the center of the Snowflakes!! I used some Foam Tape to add the Ribbon, Angel and Sentiment strip onto my card and I just LOVE the way it turned out!! 

I hope you come back on Thursday to get your hands on this SWEET NEW "Snow Angels" Stamp Set, and Stay Tuned for even MORE SURPRISES for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday!!

Sending Prayers

Our blog is pink and we're sharing awesome BCA creations all month long!

My hope is that you'll be inspired to create and reminded to get your mammogram scheduled if you are due. 

Today Vicki got inky with our Word Ribbon and Ruffled Ribbon Fri-Die from the Calling All Sistahs collection.  I love the variation of color she used to make that ribbon pop to life. The addition of the sentiment from Casual Comfort is a comforting finish.

For the entire month of October, I will be donating 75% of the profits from my Calling All Sistahs collection to nationalbreastcancer.org to support their early detection, education and support services.

I hope you'll help us spread awareness this month. Please pin our projects or feel free to share them in social media. Early detection is critical and it all starts with awareness! Remind the women in your life to schedule their mammograms this month if they are due. You matter! Pass it on.

I hope you find some time to get your ink on today :)
