Hey all! It's October (halfway thru already!!), and it's that time of year to raise awareness for breast cancer research. To help in the cause, Stef and Lauren over at the Jingle Belles blog host a challenge where they ask for predominantly PINK cards. For every card linked up to the challenge, they will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation! Isn't that amazing?! I didn't have the opportunity to participate last year, but this year, I want to help as much as I can! So, here is card #1:
I had this embossed panel (made with a Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder) sitting on my desk for some time, just waiting for the perfect card. I think this is it! I used Distress Oxide inks in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry and blended them on the panel in an ombre fashion. After that, I used Star Dust Stickles on all the snowflakes, but the true shine and color doesn't show in the photo. The sentiment is from the collaboration set from SSS and Clearly Besotted called Celebrate the Season.
