Stampin' Up! Ribbon of Courage Cancer Card

Monday morning...can we trust that day? I don't know about you, but I am overwhelmed by the fact that it's the day before Christmas Eve day and that Hanukkah began yesterday. Seriously, where did 2019 go?

For some it went with an awful diagnosis of colorectal and lymphoma cancer. I am in awe of the courage it takes to get through any cancer diagnosis and the treatments it takes to keep it in remission, if one is so fortunate. One of my customers asked me to create a card for such an occasion. I couldn't make up my mind how I wanted to use the dark blue (colorectal) and light green (lymphoma) colors so I made three from which she can choose.

I used the retired Ribbon of Courage Stamp Set and current Support Ribbon Dies. Working with Night of Navy is tough. The ribbon almost looks black. I used Granny Apple Green ink for the sentiment and retired Lemon Lime Twist for the flap, mat and small embossed heart. The strip of DSP is from the Floral Bouquet series. The hearts are stamped and embossed with Versamark Ink and White Emboss Powder and die cut with the Support Ribbon Dies.

For the second card, I used the retired 2017-2019 In Color Fresh Floral DSP in Lemon Lime Twist, with Night of Navy mat and ink.

For the third card, I used Granny Apple Green and Blueberry Bushel. I can see now from the photo that the closure flap is Lemon Lime Twist!

The inside is the same for each card...

The camera REALLY shows the difference between Granny Apple and Lemon Lime!

I'm playing today at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper December 2019 Challenge and at Happy Little Stampers Anything with Dies December Challenge.

If you have any questions on how this is made, just leave me a comment with your email address and I'll get back to you asap. In the meantime, thanks for stopping by today.
