TIME OUT #67 - Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge

We have a special challenge this fortnight at TIME OUT in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month - we are looking for cards that celebrate friendship and/or breast cancer awareness - with the optional twist of including some pink.

This challenge is sponsored by Special CAS-ual Fridays Stamps-prize for the winner of the challenge-$25 gift voucher plus a prize for those doing the optional twist of including pink.The prize will be a special package from their Calling All Sistahs collection. This collection of stamps were designed to promote breast cancer awareness and to help us encourage our friends (sistahs) to do their monthly self check. What an amazing prize for this special challenge!!!

We also have a great guest designer with us this week - Conil from Which Craft? joins the TIME OUT challenges regularly, and we always look forward to her creations - so happy to have her as our GD this week!

Here is my card:

I was lucky enough to receive the Mon Ami stamp set from our wonderful challenge sponsor, CAS-ual Fridays so that is what I used for my card. I kept the card very simple - because when stamps are this pretty, they need to be the star of the show :) 

I stamped the flower onto the card base using SSS Intense Black ink, and then I coloured it using three shades of pink Copics. I also used the same Copics to colour the edges of the card base in an ombre effect. I die cut a rectangle piece of white card stock with the matching flower die, and stamped the My Friend greeting below the opening. I then used a PTI texture plate to add a little bit of texture to the panel before using some foam to pop it up on the card base. Everything pink was coated generously with Wink of Stella for some added sparkle :)

Make sure you find some time to join us in this special challenge - we can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by!
