Let's Squash Cancer (ITDK Progressive Challenge)

Hi, everyone.  Before I share today's card, I would like to extend a warm welcome to my newest follower - Natalie - so nice to have you here!

Today I am sharing a card featuring the October progressive challenge set called Let's Squash Cancer from Imagine That... Digis by Kris. Are you playing along in Kris's progressive challenges?  If so, then you have already received this set for free.  If not, why not join in!  You can find all the details here.  I have been trying some CAS cards lately and I did so again with this one.


You all know I love cats, but did you also know I love elephants?  Yes, I do!  They are a magnificent animal!  If you ever get the chance to watch the PBS special, My Wild Affair: An Elephant Who Found a Mom, you will fall in love with elephants too! But back to my card, this is an adorable digi for cancer awareness. There aren't many people whose lives haven't been touched by this dreadful disease.  On my card, I used the precoloured image and one of the great sentiments that comes with this set.  The ribbon looks sort of red in the photo, but it is a bright fuschia-pink colour, as is the baker's twine.

I finished the inside of the card too, using a freebie frame from Ditz Bitz facebook group, but I added the Let's Squash Cancer elephant over top of the little bear that was on the frame and, of course, another fabulous sentiment from this set.

Inside of Card

Here are the other items used:
  • Dies:  Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 1
  • Designer paper:  Creative Memories, Memory Star
  • Baker's Twine:  My Craft Spot
  • Accents:  Button (Recollections), ribbon, sequins (my stash)

    Oh this is adorable inside and out!! Your design on the front is so different than I've seen before - super cute, love the ribbon, twine, buttons, it's all fabby. I'd love to display your card on my product page if you'll allow me the honor?? Yes, it's a dreadful disease and I've had several uncles and an aunt and grandma pass away from various forms of it. There's certainly nothing cute about it, but a cute card might just lift someone's spirits who's going thru it. Thanks so much! xx

    Oh goodness girl - what a fun take on cancer! Or getting rid of cancer. You know what I mean. Love the elephant - darling. The sequins really add a fun touch - I'm gonna have to try that! Thanks so much for joining us over at the Karleigh Sue "breast cancer" challenge. Good luck and I hope you will join us again!

    I saw that show, and had to wipe away tears at the end of it, as I could feel the Mama's grief. But she put that event to wonderful things later, didn't she? Loved watching it. I'm loving your card, with the little elephant cutie. I had to smile at your CAS, as this looks pretty detailed. Love all the elements & your design with this sweet digi. You did a wonderful card & love the way you've carried the image through on the interior as well. Happy weekend. TFS & Hugs
