Roses for Breast Cancer – Edenland Designs

Hi there 🙂 I’m here to share my inspiration project for this month’s challenge on the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook group. Our theme this month is Think Pink for Breast Cancer. I wanted to implement the pink ribbon symbol somehow on my project, and amazingly, forgetful me, remembered the rose ribbon that I received as a freebie from Sarah Renae Clark a few years ago. I looked through the CCK Etsy Store, and although there were numerous images that had roses in them, I liked this one, from this set, because it would be easy to erase the background and merge it onto the ribbon. I colored everything with my Copics, adding some accents to the image frame and vines, with gold gel pen, then fussy cut it out.

I had a few ideas kicking around in my head as to what to make with this, but I kept going back to something that would make a nice way to present a gift to someone going through the cancer fight. I had this alterable container in my stash that reminded me of a gift bag, so went with that. Bonus with this piece is how the hole in the ribbon lines up with the handle so nicely!! I painted the bare wood green, then sponged gold over that. I attached a pale pink piece of ribbon around the centre, then glued on the image. For the back, I printed out an encouraging sentiment, die cut it and matted it before adhering it.
