For a friend...
March 18, 2013
On Thursday, a very dear friend of mine will be having a double mastectomy. She has spent the last couple of weeks preparing herself and her family for this life-changing surgery. I can't imagine how difficult this has been for her mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I made this card to simply tell her that I care. Truth is, I never know what to say in these types of cards. I can't imagine there is much I could say to help her get through this.
I kept the colors simple, using black and gray as neutrals and having the Pretty in Pink be the pop of color. The ribbon is retired 5/8" satin ribbon. For some added femininity, I added a flower from the 5/8" fabric trim that was colored with Pretty in Pink ink. A few petals were added by using a flower from the Boho Blossom punch. The designer paper is from the Twitterpatted pack and a final pop of bling comes from some Silver Glimmer paper.
Thanks for taking a peek.
Beautiful card Mary Ann, and I think the fact that you made it says it all - that you care! I hope your friend is doing well.
