I made this card to send off for a dear friend that recently sent out a plea for help. I hope she is reading so that she can see the card I’ll be sending to her mother. She has just been diagnosed with cancer and I wanted to find something boldy optimistic. I will definitely be praying for her and I hope the words will give her some strength. I’ve pulled together some scripture to tuck inside with my handwritten note.
The card is fairly straight forward. This is the coolest paper!! The design paper has sparkly polka dots and the other deep pink piece of paper has holes in it!
ETA: Some have asked where to get this stamp. I purchased at Hobby Lobby however I have seen it online HERE.
Supplies:
Stamps: Paper Inspirations – Survivor Calligraphy
Paper: Making Memories – Sparkly Polka Dot; Creative Inspirations
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Inks – Orchid Pastel
Accessories: Nestabilities – Long Classic Scallop Rectangle, Prima Flowers, Dew Drop, Crystal Brad, White Brads Ribbon

Hi, Becca.. This is a gorgeous cad, and I’m sure your friend’s mother will appreciate it.
I hope she knows that cancer is not always a killer. I have had breast cancer twice in the past seven years and had a double mastectomy, and the first time, it took nine months to get the doctors to agree there was something wrong. No, the surgery and treatment have not been pleasant experiences, but now my prognosis is excellent. It is not going to kill me.
It’s not great news, but I hope your friend’s mother knows that a diagnosis is not necessarily a death sentence. It is just the beginning of the fight.
I pray that she will have the support she needs to help her get through this to the other side.
Hugs,
Chris xx

A prayer for a complete recovery for your friend’s mother going up right now. I know that the card will bless her, but even more, she will find great comfort and strength in the scriptures enclosed in your card. May God bless her, strengthen her, gird her for the battle ahead, and fill her with great faith, courage, and hope.
Your card is really beautiful Becca- outside and inside.

Wow! What a card. I think you achieved what you set out to do with this one. I’m pray it will provide hope and inspirition to the receiver. As always, your papers are amazing. (I guess that’s why you are amazing paper grace!) At first look, I pictured you sitting there with a Big Bite punching all of the holes. Can’t believe they sell it like that!
WOW! What a gorgeous design! I love the simplicity of the one rhinestone brad as the dot for the “i”. That holey paper is AWESOME! Your designs are always breathtaking, and this one is no exception!
So inspiring Becca, beautifully done.
What an absolutely brilliant card!
Perfect to send to your friend’s mum.
