Hello everyone! Heather Campbell here and I’m so happy to be joining you in the CLASSroom today!
I can’t believe its October already! Halloween decorations are quickly going up and I find my mind beginning to shift to Thanksgiving recipes and Christmas fun. 2013 is quickly coming to a close but I think it’s important to pause and take in something that October also represents. October is also breast cancer awareness month, something that has touched so many of us. The latest statistics are that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. So, today, my thoughts and prayers are with Julie and her mother, my Aunt Starr and my Aunt Larmon, and to everyone else who is fighting for their lives or to find a cure.
With all of that said, I wanted to create a card that would be perfect to send to anyone battling breast cancer or perhaps just needing a little care and support .
To create my pink ribbon on this card, I used the new Avery Elle Build a Banner stamp set. What’s awesome about this banner stamp set and makes it different from the other banner sets is that it allows you to stamp a banner in two different colors of inks!
I’m always searching for the perfect shades of pink
ink. Most lighter pink inks always seem
a bit off to me but I love how Hero Arts Soft Pink and Bubblegum worked
together here!
I am really enjoying the chalkboard trend right now and I
felt like it was the perfect complement to the soft pink banner. Hero
Arts black layering paper and Hero
Arts Unicorn ink are great for this!
Since I wanted to keep the banner the focus of the card, I really liked
the softness of the Unicorn ink. If you
wanted it a little crisper, white embossing powder works perfectly for that!

Thanks for letting me join you in the CLASSroom today! Have a wonderful day!
