Pink Ribbon

My first Pink Ribbon card

I have been so fortunate to been asked to help Copic Marker Norway and their donations of cards to
rais money for the Breast cancer recearch foundation.
Copic Marker Norway is a group of really wonderful ladies that makes the most beautiful cards, and I am so honored to be a guest designer for them in this.

Anyone can buy this cards, but just remember that the text inside og outside might be in Norwegian.
The following text in this post will be in Norwegian.

Jeg er så beæret å bli spurt om å være en gjestedesigner hos Copic Marker Norge, 

i deres Rosa sløyfe kampanje og innsamling til Brystkreft forskning.

Jeg tenker jeg har god grunn til å være med på denne innsamlingen, da jeg har flere rundt meg som har vært og er rammet av brystkreft. Og jeg ønsker da å gjøre dette for dem og alle de som måtte oppleve brystkreft i fremtiden. Kan også i den forbindelse nevne at min bachelor oppgave faktisk omhandlet brystkreft hos gravide og barselkvinner. Så dette er et felt jeg brenner for.

Hos CMN finner du alle kortene som er til salgs HER

Det vil etterhvert komme flere kort fra meg også som legges ut til salgs der.
Men foreløbig har jeg bare ett som ligger klart.
Og du ser hvordan det ser ut i detalj nedenfor her.

Håper DU er en av de som trenger et kort og 

samtidig ønsker at Dine penger skal gå til innsamlingen for Brystkreft forskningen.

Støtt en god sak sammen med oss!

For this card I have used:

Tilda with ribbon shoes from Sakura collection 2015 and Nativity fence from Nativity collection 2012

Colored with Copics

Designpaper from Maja design

Dies from Magnolia Doohickeys and Spellbinders

Flowers from WOC and others

Charm from my stash
