A colleague of mine was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I can only imagine how frightening it must be to hear those words from your doctor and it really reminds you how fragile life really is. Anyway, this particular lady has amazed me with her courage, dignitiy and positivity since her diagnosis and I have nothing but admiriation for her. She has now had her op, and I found myself in one of those situations where you wish you could do something to make things better, but you don't know what. Then I realised that maybe a handmade with something heartfelt inside might give a bit of a boost when it's needed most....and here is the result.
I thought a Swalk image would be perfect for this card, which I have tried to keep as clean and simple as possible. I hope that it may have raised a bit of a smile when it finally reached it's destination.
I thought
would enter this card for a few challenges as follows:
PaperTake - Anything Goes
Bearly Mine - Ribbons and Bows
Squiggle Stamps - Red White and Blue
Allsorts - Red White and Blue
Catch the Bug - Anything Goes
One Stop Craft - Summer Flowers
Thanks for looking.
