  Hello my crafty friends! Today I am posting another of my survivor cards that I created in month of October for Breast Cancer Survivors . This is something I like to do each October.  I love to surprise these survivors and let them know they are not forgotten and acknowledge their fight.  Some of these ladies I have never met. My card is a slimline card 8" X 4".  The overlay was cut from pink cardstock using the 2 largest dies of the  Spellbinders Becca Feeken Flourished Sonata die set S6-185.   I used Bearly Art Glue to attach to card front.

Pink ribbon was cut on my Cricut a couple times then adhered together to give dimension.  Added ribbon to right side of card using Bearly Art Glue .
