Stamp Out Breast Cancer Day #6!

"I learned that for some of us, our recovery will involve being helped by others, and for some it will involve helping others. Some won't want anybody to know, while others will show and describe all that we have been through. And no matter what, it is all okay. It's okay to be afraid, to cry, to yell, to laugh; it's all okay. It's been two years and I have never felt so blessed, loved, and believe it or not, lucky. It has taught me that it can always be worse and that there is always a blessing to be counted. I have found that there is a sisterhood out there and I am part of it. I am a part of this strong and wonderful group of women that I can count on and they can count on me too. I am so honored to be a part of this. I am blessed.

Here's a look at today's Card of Hope:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

How is this card so wonderfully shimmery? With Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, that's how! This fabulous must have is basically clear EP mixed with glitter. Use it like any other EP — stamp your image in VersaMark, sprinkle on the powder, and heat with a Heat Tool! Using this medium even allows the glitter to be more mess free, sticking in with the EP much more than if you used glue.
To add Iridescent Ice EP to the butterfly and torn cardstock edge — simply use your VersaMark Inkpad as it's own stamp, directly pressing the pad to cardstock!
A simple white border around the edge of the card allows the images to all pop a little more, with a color scheme like this, you need the white to brighten things up!
