Happy Friday! Off for my mammogram this morning - it hits different when an aunt was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, you know? I've never been afraid of having a mammogram but I'll admit, I'm a little nervous this time. I'm going to pick up my mom when it's over and hit TJ Maxx to spend my Christmas gift cards!
I would like to enter this card below into the following challenges:
Passion for Markers 829 - Make it Bloom
Moving Along with the Times #187 - The Birds and/or The Bees
AllSorts #845 - Things with Wings
Just Add Ink #781 - Just Add Wings

I created my background by ink smooshing Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink on a piece of watercolor paper. I die cut the honeycomb from the upper right corner, and applied texture paste through a honeycomb stencil in the lower left corner. I die cut another honeycomb stencil from a scrap piece of previously distressed watercolor paper and layered it on top of the inlay die cut. I stamped the sentiment and bee from Pink & Main's Floral Wings set (it must be retired because I cannot find it in the shop anymore!) directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored his body with bright yellow and the flowers in shades of gray. I sponged the edges with black ink and finished it off with some pearl stickers. Peace.
This is gorgeous - I love the colours and the composition of the die cut at the top and the bee on her way. Good luck with your mammogram - they are never easy - I hope it goes well for you

Good luck with your mammogram. I think the older I get, the more I worry when they come around!
