October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Arielle chose a special color scheme for just that reason.
The T-shirt in the inspiration photo, among others, can be purchased here.
Although I haven't been directly affected by breast cancer, our family has been through its share. Ryan's mom passed away in March after a year's tough battle with a rare form of cancer. My mom is currently going through chemo treatments for lymphoma. It's been tough, but we haven't lost hope!
For this card I used the same stamp from the Harlequin set that I used on my other card to create another pattern that I really love.
Thanks for stopping by today.
I hope you'll join us this week at the ColourQ!

Oh, this is fabulous, Kara! I love how you stamped the design!
My mom had breast cancer when I was in my teens and my dad had non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
What a beautiful card, the design is perfect and truly heartfelt.
Beautiful, heartfelt card Kara...I love how you used the letter to spell out Hope and layered them in such a unique way. I will be thinking good thoughts for your mom.
This card is beautiful, as are the sentiments behind it. I will be sending healing thoughts to your mom. Cancer has touched our family recently, and it really is such a dreadful disease.
Beautiful Kara, love the way you are using the stamp. I will add your mom to my prayer list. I lost my sister to lung cancer
How clever to use the stamp that way! Amazing!
