For Ali...

I made this card for a girl named Ali. She is Laurie's (Lauraly) daughter and she has become very sick. Right now, she is in Seattle having some tests done to determine the best possible action to take. If you'd like to know about her progress, there is a thread HERE on SCS where friends of Laurie's have been giving updates. If you'd like to send a card to her while she's in the hospital (it could be two weeks or more), email me and I'll get the address to you. Her favorite colors are pink and green, so when I saw today's color challenge, I knew I would use it to make my card to send to her. I started with my Poppy Patch set from Flourishes. The flowers were stamped with Black Stazon on PTI white and colored in using my SU markers, reinkers and blender pens. I stamped the lower flower twice and cut out the flower to give it a tiny bit of dimension(also to let it slightly hang off the oval). My sentiment is also from Flourishes and is part of their Many Sentiments set. I layered the image panel with Pretty in Pink and Riding Hood Red. The horizontal panel is some Bella Rose DSP layered with Riding Hood Red and Pretty in Pink. Before layering it, I ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder to give it some texture. The other DP is Kiwi Kiss Patterns paper and it was run through the Cuttlebug with my houndstooth folder. I added a white organdy bow, gold cord, and some gold brads too.
