Jen was diagnosed with breast cancer toward the end of last year. She's been dealt a pretty bad hand as far as the treatment for her type of aggressive cancer, but the prognosis is good. This year will be quite the journey and battle, but she is a strong and very motivated woman. She's done lots of reading up on how she can take on a positive role in fighting her cancer from all angles, including diet and exercise. With only a couple of treatments under her belt so far, she is looking and feeling good, and plans to keep it that way! Her mantra has become a viral hashtag among her friends and crafty peers - #beastmode - and it totally fits Jen's personality! We love her!
I made a bright sunny card sure to bring some happiness to Jen's day! I can't wait for her to open this in the mail. Before I began, I knew I wanted to use the Sunburst Cover Panel Confetti Cut. I cut it out with Cloud White card stock and then sponged on some distress inks. I colored up some of the flowers and the gorgeous toucan from the Toucan of Friendship stamp set and then used the coordinating Confetti Cut for a perfect cut each time. I added some clear seed beads to the middle of each flower.
The sentiment is from Mouse Mail and I stamped it in black onto a Flowers for Mom Tangerine banner piece.
