Charlie's Monster

I just had to make this card. My heart would not let me NOT make it!! I came across this blog post about a little sweet 4-year-old named Charlie. He is battling a TERRIBLE disease and just recently underwent a stem cell transplant. This card is going postal TODAY!! Please feel free to send one to him if you are as moved by his story as I am.

Cards for Charlie

I incorporated the colors for today's color challenge over on SCS (CC306) ... sorta. The colors were Bravo Burgundy, Pear Pizzazz and Baja Breeze. Can't believe I let myself run pretty much OUT of that color!! YIKES!! Had to substitute me some Marina Mist ... but isn't this monster so stinkin' ca-YOOT???? I really like him!!

Stamps: Wild About You
Paper: Bravo Burgundy, Pear Pizzazz, Marina Mist, Whisper White, Sahara Sand
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirl, Mesh Texture and Tiny Bubbles Embossing Folders, Cricut Mini Monsters Cartridge, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Linen Thread, Pop-Up Glue Dots
