I can't even imagine hearing those words. So when my aunt asked me to make her a special card for someone she knew who had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer I obliged. She wanted a warrior princess and I thought She-Ra, a generous freebie from Mayzy Art, was perfect. I colored her with Copics and fussy cut her. Papers are Me & My Big Ideas. The current sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp served as my starting point, and I embellished with a border punch, flowers, flat back pearls, and a Tim Holtz adage ticket.
It makes me sad to make pretty cards for such an ugly disease, but I know the recipient will appreciate my aunt's thoughtfulness and support!
Be sure to check out Mayzy's amazing blog and shop! You can find She-Ra and other freebies HERE and her new shop HERE!
Thanks for visiting! I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far!
Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, R20, R81, R85, Y28, B00, N0, N2, Y32, Y35, E31).

Omg! A mini she-ra, princess of power. Yay!!! Lol. I loved waking up early Saturday morning to watch that cartoon along with he-man, the smurfs, the snorkels, etc. I'm sooooo aging myself here. Hahaha.
