Pink Christmas Cards for the Cure

card 1
 I'm thinking pink today in celebration of October being breast cancer awareness.  I created this mixed media card with all of my favorite ink pads, Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and SU! Rose Romance.
card 2
 The sentiment is by Verve, stamped onto pink velum.  The flowers are Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettias.  The Christmas sweater background is by Stampendous.  The doilies (MFT) are cut from used coffee filters.
card 3
I'm racing over to Jingle Belles for their Deck the Halls - in Pink <3 challenge HERE, where Stephanie and Lauren are donating $2 for each completed card in the link up.  I'm also linking to Winter Wonderland for their Christmas with Ribbon challenge HERE, to Classy Cards 'n Such for their Pretty Pink Christmas challenge HERE, and to Pile It On challenge #91 for Lace or Ribbon HERE.  Thanks for looking!
