I Look Up To You



Hi everyone and happy Monday :)
I hope you all had a great start into the new week!
Today I'm sharing a card with you that I've created by following the sketch that has been provided at the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge blog last week. I'm a bit too late with my card for submitting it to the challenge, but loved the sketch, so thought I'd post it anyway ;-))) 
And since October is the month of  Breast Cancer Awareness... so in honor of this I decided to create an all red an pink card, even though pink is not my usual "go-to" color ;-)
I did some distressing and faux stitching again, as well as some paper piecing and cutting: the giraffe was stamped on a light pink patterned paper and also been colored using some Tombow markers afterwards, then I cut out the stamped giraffe and put her on some dimensional foam adhesive.

Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Montag :)
Ich hoffe Ihr hattet alle einen super Start in die neue Woche!
Heute möchte ich Euch eine Karte zeigen, die nach dem Sketch auf dem Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge Blog entstanden ist. Ich bin zwar ein klitzekleines bisschen zu spät um noch an der Challenge teilzunehmen, aber mir hat der Sketch so gut gefallen, das ich dachte ich zeig's Euch trotzdem ;-)))
Und da der Oktober der Monat zur Sensibilisierung gegenüber Brustkrebs ist (oder wie soll man bitte "Breast Cancer Awareness" übersezten? Naja, ich hoffe Ihr wisst was gemeint ist.. es soll einfach daran erinnert werden, das man bzw. frau sich untersuchen lässt und auch immer regelmäßig Selbstkontrollen durchführt!) habe ich beschlossen das ich eine Karte ganz in rot und pink mache - obwohl pink ja normalerweise nicht so "meine" Farbe ist ;-)
Ich hab' hier distressed und wieder mal ein wenig "faux stitching" angewandt. Außerdem "paper piecing": die Giraffe wurde auf ein blass-rosé Papier gestempelt und anschließend noch ein wenig mit Tombow Stiften nachkoloriert. Und dann hab' ich die Giraffe auch noch konturengenau ausgeschnitten und auf 3D Pads gesetzt.
