Awareness!

Good morning all, and here's hoping everything is well with you.  It's raining today, which is good for my gardens and good for crafting....and I believe it is sunshine again tomorrow.  Actually, here in Ontario, we've been having a lovely spring...just hoping the summer isn't going to be too hot!


My card today uses an image from Saturated Canary, which Krista offered as a freebie a while back.  Called Boobie Love, it's a reminder to keep getting those mammograms, and to see your doctor if something doesn't seem right.  That last part is from me, from past personal experience....be aware!

I've played with the traditional pinks, pairing it up with brown and cream, which results in a nice bright combination.  Can you see the pink highlites in her hair?  I've used an MS punch for the lace border, a Cheery Lynn die for the flourish and butterfly, and a Spellbinder die for behind the image...all of which have been inked with DI.    A bit of doodling, a piece of ribbon, and a few flowers and gems finish it off.

I found some wonderful challenges for my card, be sure to check them out.
