What does this mean?

I saw the sketch challenge at Skipping Stones Design this week and immediately knew what I wanted to do.

I have friends who have NOT had a mammogram in, well,

let's just say a very long time.

Hopefully this card will reach one of them,

and the others (and you know who you are),

will see this post and consider what's at risk here.

I absolutely love this stamp set, Bras Volume 1.

It was my very first Skipping Stone,

and still remains my favorite!

Because I wanted to get to the heart of the problem,

I used a sentiment from another stamp set.

It just brought the message home so well.

I love the way the little stamped hangers popped off the embossed cardstock after I heat embossed them in black. And those bras are so much fun to stamp and color!  I can pretend I'm shopping at Victoria's Secret! I can also pretend I would buy a $60 bra! LOL!

So, no matter who you are reading this,

you are someone's daughter,

maybe someone's mother,

or sister...

Get a mammogram!

You DO matter!

Pattern Papers!!!

Copic Marker Scrapbooking 6 Copic Ciao Markers (North/South America) Martha Stewart punch (rest of the world)

My card was paper pieced with pattern paper which is,

by the way, one of my favorite techniques!

Here's a close up of the pretty little image I used from Sparkle Creations, one of our previous sponsors.  She's called "Charlotte with a Rose".

I tied an embroidery bow around her waist and the flower stem.  I also cut a second tag and glued it over the first so that it would be more dimensional.

Cardstock: Bazzill

Sentiment: My Favorite Things, "Clearly Sentimental about Friendship".

Pattern papers:  DCWV, "Citrus"

Flowers: Prima Marketing
