Here is my second Embellish the Cure color challenge card. I made this one with my mother in mind. She likes lots of bling and detail! I thought it would be perfect to represent her. (Scroll down for my grandmother’s card)These colors and photos are gorgeous for this challenge!
I decided to make a distressed flower but have the flower be the actual card! I sloppy cut the three outer circles and distressed them with my Tonic distresser and then rolled up the edges. I adhered them together with different heights of foam adhesive.
To create the card I cut two circles with my nestabilities and adhered them together to make a card like I did in this video. Then I adhered that to the back of my flower. I think this is such a fun shaped card!
The center circle was punched and then I added clear, pink and hot pink gems to the center. That was so much fun to do! I distressed it also. I then cut some leaves and distressed those also. I can’t believe how much I distressed. I had so much fun doing it! Maybe I’ll go on a distressing kick. You never know! 🙂

Hello everyone! I am finally particiapting in Embellish Magazine’s latest challenge. I have wanted to make a card from day one, but I just couldn’t come up with the right thing. Then today, I made two Embellish cards! Here is the challenge:
I love this challenge, not only for the gorgeous colors but also because this cause is dear to me. I lost my beloved grandmother to breast cancer almost ten years ago. Two weeks after she died, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ten years later my Mom is now a two time breast cancer survivor.

I made this card with my grandmother in mind. She was always joking around and having fun. She loved beautiful flowers. And, I don’t think she would have minded some nice bling also! The cute phrase “tickled pink” just seemed perfect. I also love this gorgeous and delicate flower too. (Please scroll up for the card with my Mom in mind.)I think this card is the perfect blend of Hero Arts, American Crafts and Papertrey Ink. I love these three companies, and I think they complement each other so well!
