AAA Cards Challenge #282: Follow the Leader is the current challenge and this is my take on it. I have often thought of doing a card in this design, but never got around to it until now. Using Hero Arts infinity circle dies I first cut the white layer at the edge then using the waste piece from that, I die cut the smaller circle. My red layer is from a Divinity Designs paper pack I’ve had forever and I added the white onto that. Using a new stamp set that was part of a kit from Crafters Companion I stamped the seed head onto the small die cut and heat embossed, after which I added it to the center of the white layer. With a sentiment stamp from the same set I initially stamped directly to the card front but somehow I managed to smudge it and it wasn’t good enough to use for anything let alone a challenge entry. I set it aside until a few minutes ago, as, while I was searching for something online, I realized that I could perhaps stamp it again on another scrap and then die cut it using a heart die, (another infinity die actually). It did the job perfectly and adding the heart was a good idea as most of the DT’s used a tiny heart in their samples. It always amazes me how our brains work, because I wasn’t even looking for a solution when the idea popped into my head.
This card will go to my friend who after 6 months of chemo, has just had major surgery (mastectomy) and it will cheer her up I’m sure. Thanks for stopping by, your time is always appreciated.

Good take on the leader’s card. I think your friend will like this. It is wonderful to cheer her up with your cards. I always thought the mascestomy came before chemo. Hope this is all she needs and she can get on with her life.

Thanks Lisa. It depends on the type of cancer and tumor size. Sometimes they do it first to shrink it and occasionally it disappears altogether.
