Ribbon of Courage pink

Today I’m sharing a slightly stepped up version of yesterday’s card using Ribbon of Courage. This one is for the grandmother of someone I spoke to last week who has learned that she has breast cancer.

I inked the beautiful flowered ribbon in versamark and then powder pink before stamping it and sprinkling with clear embossing powder and heating. And this way I get the lovely glossy raised effect. I did the same with the sentiment (also from Ribbon of Courage). I added a mat of powder pink to pull the card together and then put this onto a thick whisper white card base. I must try colouring in the ribbon soon – I think that will be beautiful too.

Ribbon of Courage

I really liked the Ribbon of Courage stamp set when I saw it at Onstage! but I wasn’t sure whether to get it since I didn’t know anyone struggling with cancer. In the end, I decided to get it for the beautiful sentiments and now as it turns out, I’m fighting cancer. Funny how things turn out isn’t it? So I decided to make a card specifically for lung cancer (white ribbon) because I want to send cards to other people fighting the same disease. I haven’t figured out the specifics yet, but I do at least have a card. It’s hard to photograph because I decided to go white on white but in person it’s really beautiful.Liz Bailey Stampin' Up!

I stamped the flowery ribbon in craft ink on whisper white cardstock and sprinkled on the white embossing powder and then heated it. Here’s a closer look:

Since the ribbon for lung cancer is white, I didn’t want to bring in any other colour on this one so the sentiment (also from Ribbon of Courage) is heat embossed in silver.  I glued the layer to a thick whisper white card base and that was it. A supremely clean and simple card.

Ribbon of Courage

I was challenged to CASE a card from the new catalog and wow, there’s a lot of choice! Here’s my CASE from page 33 where there’s a card using More Than Chocolate which I’ve remade using Ribbon of Courage and the Natural Eclectic DSP.

I’ve switched the stamped background to use the Natural Eclectic DSP in lemon lime twist and fresh fig and then used the fabulous sentiment from Ribbon of Courage stamped in more lemon lime twist on my whisper white panel. I copied the layout from the card in the catalog and added a lemon lime twist mat and a ribbon – instead of baker’s twine, I used the 1/8 inch sheer ribbon in fresh fig. I debated between a whisper white card base and a lemon lime twist one but the latter looked more striking and exciting.

Here’s the card that I CASE-d

I haven’t purposely CASE-d from the catalog before but there’s loads of inspiration there – I’m definitely going to do this again. I don’t think I’d have thought of adding the ribbon like this and it’s rather fun.
