ICS Blog Hop - Ribbon of Courage


Woo Hoo it's the first Wednesday of the month you know what that means RIGHT? ICS Blog hop time! Our theme this month of October is all Colors of Courage!  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so this is a very fitting theme.  Enjoy the hop and feel free to leave us some love in the form of a comment, we love hearing from you!
 


These cards showcase Patty Bennett's One Million Dollar Achiever stamp set titled Ribbon of Courage.  It also has coordinating framelits.  The color combinations are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride and Tangerine Tango & Pumpkin Pie for breast and kidney cancers.  The hearts and flowers were stamped and then followed by cutting out the ribbon with a framelit.  This showcases the eclipse technique that has become one of my favorite!  I use the foam adhesive strips for this technique because it pops more than the Stampin' Dimensionals.  The sentiments are stamped in coordinating colors and cut out with the Duet Banner Punch.  

  
There are so many different colors representing different cancers.  Here is a great color chart from the American Cancer Society.




I hope you enjoyed my cards!  The next stop in our blog hop is Deb!
