Join us! It is WORD week at Just Us Girls. Carol Mc is challenging us to incorporate the word YOU into our cards this week.
Isn't this a great word prompt! I thought "you are"... immediately. I decided to create nine cards for donation to Friends After Diagnosis, an organization supporting cancer patients. In addition to their many patient programs, therapy and service, staff members often send messages of support to local patients.
This is a very simple card comprised of a Pinkfresh stenciled background and several layered sentiments. The sentiments from a Taylored Expressions set that not only features "you are" but also nine words that can be mixed and matched. It would not be easy to stamp only one word and not die cut it. The nine words are listed in a column on a red rubber stamp; the die is one piece, and die cuts all nine words at one time. The words included are: Brave, Loved, Enough, Strong, Amazing, Inspiring, Not Alone, Incredible, and A Warrior.

Such a gorgeous stenciled card Elizabeth! And your sentiments are fabulous too!
ReplyDeleteAmazing stenciled background with the awesome die cut sentiments!
ReplyDeleteThose cards are going to be greatly appreciated, Elizabeth! Your stenciling is fabulous with this sentiment pairing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stenciled background and love the font of the words! Perfect cards for supporting cancer patients. PS--thanks for your comment on my bunny card. We have them in the neighborhood, but I don't actually see them very often. Here it's the squirrels that are everywhere. Our dog, Fritz, barely looks at them now.
ReplyDeleteSuch a simply lovely stencil Elizabeth and beautifully coloured. Great sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThose sentiment words are perfect for the cards you so generously donate, Elizabeth. The stencil is great for making multiples and you can easily change up the colors. This color combination is bright and cheery.
