Girls check your girls! It's time for your monthly reminder!
I'm reminding all the ladies in my life, along with the rest of the CAS-ual Fridays Encouragement Squad, to do you self breast exam if you haven't already. Encourage the ladies in your life as well! You never know when you could save a life, whether your own or someone you love. It takes just a few moments!
This month's card is very clean and simple, but it packs a powerful message! I just learned that a friend of mine was just diagnosed with lung cancer. Thankfully they caught it early. She will have to undergo chemo and radiation to her lung and also radiation to her brain, as the type of aggressive cancer she has typically spreads to the brain quickly. I made this card with her in mind and I think I'll send it to her as it is a good card for any type of cancer. So here it is:
I used CAS-ual Fridays Amber Waves stamp set seen here. Using a simple white card base and the border stamps found at the bottom of the set, I created a bold but pretty design. Stamping with both a light and dark pink (Catherine Pooler Inks: Party Dress and It's a Girl) adds interest and adding the black border in allowed me to use black for my sentiment, from the Calling All Sistahs Stamp set seen here, and frame.
I was able to align the border stamp up twice, reaching to both sides of the card, by using my MISTI for perfect placement, as well as the ability to stamp my image twice in the exact same spot for an intense color. I decided to use silver glitter paper for my girl die, seen here, to give it some pop and it also allowed me to put silver sequins on as well and they all coordinated.
Thank you for taking a look at my card this month and be sure to use this as a reminder to take care of yourself by doing monthly breast exams.

Much Junkie Love,
Marci
