Think Pink- Actions Speak Louder Than Words

A portion of all Craft-e-Corner proceeds this month will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Hello everyone! Happy Monday and welcome back to our breast cancer awareness blog series, Craft Pink! Today we are featuring a card made by the talented Hampton Art designer Beverly Sizemore!

Check it out!

Beverly created this bright and vibrant “Think Pink” card using an array of stamps, inks and a few pops of pink bling! I love the big bold lettering of the words and the repetition of the stamp.

The stamp on this card reminds me of a mime. As we all know mimes are silent and do not speak- and in this case, in light of Breast Cancer Awareness, I read this as – ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

Take action against breast cancer and share some support by shopping at Craft-e-Corner this month! Also make sure to check out the National Breast Cancer Awareness web page to learn all about how to take ACTION to prevent breast cancer.
