Male Encoragement

I created this card for the challenge this week at

The Male Room

 

Ok, I am no water coloring expert, or even beginner for that matter, but I have attempted one water coloring card in 5+ yrs. of card making and with not much success. So, this week at The Male Room we are to create, yep... a water coloring card! I have decided to use water color pencils instead on my card...hope it counts!!

At first, as I was getting ready to use pink for the flowers and ribbon I remembered... OOPS!!...this is for The Male Room challenge. I though to myself...unfortunately males get cancer, too. My husband having gone through treatment for prostrate cancer, I went online and looked up the color ribbon for it. The color ribbon for prostrate cancer is light blue.

Here is the end result:

* Pattern Paper - I matted this blue pattern paper to dark brown cardstock. Punched the corners with an old McGill Creativity corner punch.

* Image - Digi from A Day for Daisies, called "Ribbon Tree". I used Prang water color pencils to color it in. Not noticeable on here , but I used a Gelly Roll pen in silver on the flower centers.

* Frame - Is a metal die Spellbinder. I added silver brads to the ends. 

* Sentiment -  I found it on the internet and printed out on the computer... "Live each day with wings of faith and roots of hope". The sentiment did not have a name to give credit to.
