October Calling All Sistahs Blog Hop

Hello Sistahs,

This month's Encourage a Sistah Blog Hop is going to be super special!  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so in addition to reminding our sisters to do their self-exams and schedule those yearly mammograms, we are asking you to make a card to encourage a sistah that has been recently diagnosed, is currently under treatment or has recently gone through the breast cancer battle.  Most of us have either been touched by this terrible disease or have loved someone who has.

You should have come here from Lisa Lahiff's blog.  If not you can go back to the beginning and start over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog.

Here is my card for this month's challenge:

Ingredients:

Casual Friday Ruffled Ribbon die

Casual Friday Hope Fri-Die

Rose Embossing Folder

Hearts Embossing Folder 

Lil' Inker Designs Dip Dyed Ombre paper

Assorted paper from my stash

Picked Raspberries distress ink

For this A2 card I started with white card stock for the base of the card.  I took a piece of the Lil' Inker Designs Dip Dyed Ombre pink paper and ran it through my Vagabond with the Rose embossing folder and then added it to the base of the card. I cut out the Casual Friday Ruffled Ribbon  Fri-Die in pink paper and then embossed it with the Hearts embossing folder, inked the edges with Picked Raspberries distress ink and added that to the card.  I took some more of that same pink paper and cut out the Casual Friday Hope Fri-Die and added that to the card.  I will be sending this out to a close friend of mine who is a breast cancer survivor!

You can read all about how Calling All Sistahs got started right here.
