LOVE

Hey there, this weekend has been going by pretty fast!  I'm here to share another Hope You Can Cling To card for the Splitcoast Stampers card drive for breast cancer patients and their families.  The challenges go through the end of the month...I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when they're done.  LOL!  Holly's challenge, I Will Survive, is focusing on all the survivors out there so she wants us to use purple.

Hmmm...this challenge made me realize...I don't own much purple.  The card stock I chose is kind of a soft plum color, but it's still in the purple family!  I'm combining two Our Craft Lounge sets:  Shower of Blossoms and Oriental Garden.  Oriental Garden is being retired (rubber only) and is being offered at 40% off in the OCL online store and Shower of Blossoms is 20% off at Memories of Time but you might need to get the code from FaceBook.  Links to both stores are below in the supplies area if you are interested in either set.  Actually, I think the MOT code should be good for everything in the store...the last I knew it was, anyway.  You might want to check it out.

This is a pretty simple card with lots of coloring!  The image was stamped on white card stock and colored with Copic markers.  A bow was tied out of some ribbon from my stash then the die cut image was popped up on foam.  The sentiment (I'm hoping really does say love and not uh...meatballs or something bizarre!  Ha!) was stamped on a die cut tag and a twine bow attaches it to the card.  I guess that's about it for this one.
