Ribbon of Courage

I'm up to my eyeballs with Christmas prep for my Open House/Christmas party this Sunday and thought I'd go a different direction for today's post.  
As a cancer survivor of 15 years now (Yay!), I was looking forward to trying this stamp set.  I chose a soft pink for my design.  I know ... you don't see me use pink very often.  Sometimes, it's what you need for your design to work. 

I lightly went over the raised embossing with my white ink pad, to highlight it.

I like how this one came out.  I try to live up to its message each and every day.  It's a good one!
