My good stampin' buddy, DebDeb is hosting the challenge today for the Hope You Can Cling to Challenge. I have been taking part in this challenge for the entire month and have already sent two envelopes full of cards to MD Anderson Cancer Center here in Houston. Having always lived in the Houston area, within an 80 mile radius anyway, this is near and dear to my heart. I used my new Paper Trey Ink set and diecut for this card as well as one of my Spellbinder labels. I embossed it with a Paper Studio embossing folder, and used some new Basic Grey design paper on it too. I colored the white taffeta ribbon with my copic markers to match my colors. I love those markers because they work all kinds of magic like this.

I hope you have been wearing the pink and taking part in some form of support for the Breast Cancer awareness campaign. It really does change people's lives and gives them HOPE! Blessings to you and yours.

This is a double challenge card. I find myself doing more of that because of time limits. What's the old saying,,,killing two birds with one stone?? This is for the Midnight Madness sketch challenge this week and also for the SCS' color combination challenge. This week's colors: soft suede, tempting turquoise, and certainly celery. I used a Paper Trey stamp for the flower, and a SU sentiment. I punched out my butterflies, colored my white pearls with a brown copic marker and did all my coloring with copic markers.

I just loved the colors that were in the Basic Grey's Original collection. The verse is from VERVE, and the papers are from SU and Paper Trey. Mark's Finest Papers had this fabulous Basic Grey. I used my  Martha Stewart border punch and my nestabilities. I thought this vine was the perfect substitution for the ribbon and that prima just seemed to be in the right colors to fit right in.
