For my project I made a card using Art Philosophy for the shapes on my card and Pink Journey for my ribbon. The card base is 8 1/2 x 6 (it's pretty big!) and the cuts are cut at 4" for the ribbon and 5" for the shapes and 2" for the base of the "stamped" image. (It's really just Microsoft wording!). I then glued a bow to the middle, embossed the shape with my Tiny Dots folder and and faux stitched the edges. Fairly simple card but hopefully it brightens the day of whoever receives it ;)
For my blog candy I am giving away a Silhouette Cameo gift card! This is different than the other giveaway I have going on on a seperate post but all you have to do is just follow and comment on each of our blogs :)
Aren't those gems cute? I got them at Hobby Lobby! There is like a million in each pack haha :)
For the saying I cut out my "cut outs", then I used a text box in word, sized it accordingly and wrote out my texts. I then printed it and then used removable adhesive and placed my cut over the saying and ran it through my printer again. *Just realized my gems on the bottoms are a little crooked, oh well* ;)
That's it! I hope you enjoyed my little card (remember, I am not a card maker! hehe)

What a great card and I love that this disorder is being recognized. There are times and days when it is overwhelming but with encouragment from friends and family members and hops like this one, it makes me feel less isolated.

Alma,
ReplyDeleteThank you su much for taking the challenge with me. I know you went out of your comfort zone to make this card (from pink to purple, and a card) Love everything about your card.

This is gorgeous, Alma! I do suffer severely from Fibro. It affects every second of my life unfortunately. Haven't been able to get out of bed and craft for days, in fact. Can be quite depressing! Thanks for your lovely project though and I'd love it if you would stop in and say hi. Look up fibromyalgia on my blog and you can read a bit about a real day in the life of a sufferer. ;)

I love your card Alma! It has that simple but classy look about it...:) Your message speaks loud and clear and gives an awareness to a much misunderstood disorder. So glad you were hopping with the girls!
ReplyDeleteVery nice card, gently expressing the awareness. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card and of course I love the colour purple. My hubby suffers from Fibromyalgia also. He has more bad days then good but we try and make the best of it. TFS your wonderful talent.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and a great way to show awareness. I suffer from fibromyalgia and I have found ways to cope with the pain from http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-pain. I hope this is helpful for others suffering from chronic pain.
