Sending Happy Thoughts 27

Hi there! Today I have a tag to share for the March More Than Words Mini Challenge. This month, we are challenging you to create a card, tag or ATC featuring the word "Happy". We must SEE the actual word. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to join along! For complete details, please visit the More Than Words Challenge blog.

I created a mixed media style card that I made for my sweet sister Marlene, who is scheduled to have a bilateral mastectomy along with reconstructive breast surgery today. She has completed 12 weeks of chemotherapy and is thankfully cancer free as of now :) Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I added lots of texture using various mediums including texture paste, Distress embossing powder, crackled paste and crackle paint:

Thanks so much for visiting! Please be sure to visit the More Than Words Challenge blog for loads of inspiration and for complete details!
Be Sweet ;)
