Support the Relay for Life

       

Hi Everyone:  The cards I am sharing today will contribute to a fundraiser event for the BC Cancer Society in June 2011.  The  "Relay for Life" event is an annual event held in June in various cities in BC.  Teams of various people, run and/or walk for most of the day and each team fund raises to contribute to research and care of those afflicted with cancer. The day is filled with activities for the whole family.  There are tributes to the survivors and those that have succumb to the disease with the day capped off with a candlelight ceremony.

 

We likely all know someone that has been touched by this terrible disease.  While great strides have been made to assist in the cure, there is always more to do. 

The Lotto Ripper's team from the BC Lottery Corporation is in the middle of their fund raising and I have made a set of cards which I will donate these cards so that they can sell to assist in their fund raising efforts.  What better stamp to use than the Hope and Strength stamp set where Stampin' Up! will contribute $2.00 from each stamp set and MDS digital stamp set sold to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 

You will notice that I mention Strength and Hope Designer Series Paper.  Not only did I purchase the physical stamp set, I also purchased the digital stamp set for My Digital Studio.  The digital stamp set includes the stamp brush set as well as various designer series papers and embellishments.

For this card, I tried to make it a little more masculine and still use the butterfly.  I accomplished this by using  a brown and orange colour palette.  Men also need to be comforted and provided with strength and hope as they support someone with cancer or have it themselves.

So there they are.  I know this is a long post as I wanted to showcase the different cards that I have crafted in support of the Relay for Life.

I hope you enjoyed and until next time.....
