Pretty in Pink Hydrangea PPA 14

PPA 14 (2)
Today the PPA challenge is all about Pink.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this tribute is to fellow pal, Kris’ mom, who was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family, today and always.


The inspiration for my card today came from the SCS Weekly Inkling Newsletter #181 and here is the tutorial for this pop up card.  This card will lay back flat and slide right into an envelope.  

My card is created using Pretty in Pink Textured Cardstock.  The Whisper White circle center is layered with an embossed layer of Pretty in Pink.  The hydrangea petals are punched with Martha Stewart’s Hydrangea Punch in Whisper White Textured and retired In Color Pink Piroutte Textured Cardstock.   All the petals are glued in place right on top of the leaves.  I then accented the centers with some pink gems.  The leaves are the SU Sizzlets Little Leaves Die #114511.  The sentiment is from One of A Kind stamp set #113624.

Hop on over to the Pals Paper Arts and enter the challenge today.  They have a huge Pink Prize Package for you to win. 

I hope as you are reading this and pondering your day, that you will remember to do your monthly breast exam.  It is so important to learn all you can about Breast Cancer.  Awareness, prevention, facts, what you can do… how to help a loved one with breast cancer.  Sign up for the Susan G. Komen Newsletter and get educated about breast cancer.  Its the best thing you can do for yourself. 

Hugs to all…
