Be Strong

I decided to take a bit of a break on the Halloween treat packages (I was eating way WAY too much chocolate), and instead make a card on the feminine side.  Also, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I hadn't yet made any cards.

I wanted my card to focus on strength and hope and courage.  And I found a good stamp set for that.

The sentiment is from a Unity / Donna Downey stamp set, "Empowered Words".  I think all the stamps in this set are very uplifting!

The ribbon is from 3GirlJam and is a special holiday edition, "Seasons Bundle".  I really like the swirls of different colors.

At the top corner, I tied a bow and then made a little ribbon rose, backing it with a bit of brown/white twine, and popping a little pearl in the center.

Here's a close-up of the ribbon rose at the top:

 

I'm linking this up with the Paper Issue challenge, "Believe in Yourself".  I think it fits, don't you?

Until Next Time!
