The card I am sharing today is created using  Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflower, Beauty of Friendship, and Free As A Bird Stamp Sets.  The Meadow Moments Embossing Folder is used for the embossing.

My design is inspired by the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  It is a sketch challenge.  My occasion is the celebration of my sister being cancer-free for 12 years now.

I am also entering the challenge at The House That Stamps Built — their theme for this challenge is Think Pink in honor of breast cancer as October is Breast Cancer Month and I have a sister who is a survivor.

I started with a Basic White card stock base adding a panel of the same embossed using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder.

To create the Polished Pink sunflower, I dropped several drops of the Polished Pink ink from a refill bottle.  I then added water using a Water Painter.  I keep adding until I had the color of pink I wanted.  I then place a panel of Watercolor paper over the watered-down ink, I then dried the ink using a heat tool, then dipped in the ink again.  I kept doing this until I had the panel covered, dried it again with the heat tool and it was ready for stamping. 

I first stamped the sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set using Polished Pink ink, then I stamped Versa Mark over it and sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder over it and heat embossed.  Thankfully, I remembered there was a die for this, but on my first try of stamping, I fussy cut.  The leaves and stems are cropped from Garden Green card stock.  The greeting is stamped in Polished Pink ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock then fussy cut and popped on the card front.  I colored a length of ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack using a Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Marker and created the Breast Cancer Ribbon at the top of the card.  Pearls Basic Jewels are added to the center of the sunflower.

A sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set is stamped in Polished Pink ink on the Basic White panel.  A ribbon representing Breast Cancer is created using a scrap of the Whimsey & Wonder DSP.  It has been embossed using the Timber 3-D embossing Folder, then popped on the panel using  Glue Dots.

A Breast Cancer Ribbon is adhered to the medium white envelope flap.
