Ultimate Pink Blog Hop

Welcome to the first ever Ultimate Pink Blog Hop – a collection of ideas from Stampin’ UP! demonstrators all over the globe featuring shades of pink in honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

Welcome from the beautiful state of New Mexico. I am a new Stamping  Up! demonstrator.  I joined this blog to help support cancer awareness of all types. Every family has been affected by this disease is some way or another and my family is no exception. I lost my husband to brain cancer, an aunt to lung cancer and another family member was diagnosed with breast cancer recently. By participating in this blog hop, i hope to help spread the word on how early detection is the best way to begin early treatment.

My submission for this blog hop is a card with the simple saying "It's all about hope" which pretty much sums up the frame of mind you must maintain to become a survivor. A positive attitude is the most important thing to have.

Flirty Flamingo Designer Series Paper

Instructions:

Card Base whisper white thick card 5 1/2 x 11 and scored at 4 1/4

Flirty Flamingo DSP 4 x 5 1/4

Whisper White 3 3/4 x 4 3/4

Blushing Bride Cardstock and 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 and  embossed with BoHo Chic embossing folder. You will need the cut two of the smallest scallop circles in white and 2 of the second largest circles the DSP. I used the reverse side of the stripes paper to assemble the bra.

To layer bra, add snail adhesive to the small white scallop circles and adhere to the back of the DSP.

Over lap the two larger circles slightly with snail adhesive to create the bra. Using the Blossom Builder punch I cut the small flower out of white. The smaller flower is cut out of DSP using the Botanical Builders framelits and the smallest 4 petal flower. I layered them to the center of the bra using the liquid glue and then added a small rhinestone.

Cut a circle with the layering 2 1/2 circle frame lit and emboss the the embossing folder. 

Attach the circle to the doily with snail adhesive.

Assemble your card base by folding on the score line and burnish with a bone folder. Layer the embossed blushing bride card stock to the whisper white piece and then to the DSP. Wrap the blushing bride twine around the layered base 3 times and secure to back. Using snail adhesive attach layers to folded card base. 

Using the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in two sections by just inking the hope part on the stamp and stamped on a scrap piece of whisper white using Blushing Bride ink. Then using the blushing bride ink I stamped its all about over hope. Cut the sentiment to the size and shape you desire and sponge the edges with the Blushing Bride ink. To complete the card I added 3 rhinestones to the left side of the card under the twine.
