Courage
Welcome My Crafty Friends! Spring has arrived finally and I believe we are all happy about that at least I know I am.
Sadly we are all touched by "Cancer" at some point in our lives some more than others. I know my family and friends have been touched many times. Today my card is for a friend that has just recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Here is how I created my card.
Step 1 Cut 2 Garden Notes Berry Branch from brown cardstock. Using pink Nuvou crystal drops make berries on branches. Do 1 side let dry then do back side and let dry. I do both sides like Susan does but it is optional.
Step 2 Form 6" X 6" card base from white cardstock. Emboss card front with embossing folder of your choice.
Step 3 From white Soft Finish Cardstock cut 3 Garden Notes Round Grapevine Wreaths. Using Kids Choice Glue just dab around center area on back of wreath (no glue on the little branches) attach 1 wreath at a time to card front giving each wreath a quarter turn to off set each wreath. Once dry pull up on some of the branches to give it fullness.
Step 4 Using Garden Notes Lilac 2 and 85# white Soft Finish Cardstock color front and back of a piece large enough to cut flower plates 2-3 times each. Just kind of scribble you want little areas of white and varying shades. Shape and build your lilacs Here is Susan's video for making lilacs.

Step 5 Cut 3 pink tulips and 2 white tulips using Garden Notes Tulip 2 die set. Shape and build tulips. Susan's video below for making tulips.

Step 6 From green cardstock cut 1 set of Garden Notes Ladder Fern.
Step 7 Using Suzanne Cannon's Courage die to cut from white Soft Finish Cardstock that has Clear Double Sided Adhesive on top twice and once from cardstock with adhesive on top and bottom (this will be the bottom of the stack). Cut once from pink glitter cardstock. Cut ribbon from Suzanne Cannon's Hope die set 3 times from white Soft Finish Cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on top then once from pink glitter cardstck. Stack together. You are making 3 pink ribbons and 1 Courage.
Step 8 Assemble using Kids Choice Glue starting with ferns. Ferns, berries, lilacs, tulips then leaves. Add courage to bottom under wreath and use pop dots to add ribbons.
