My friend Nancy Leppek runs the Color Hues challenge and added this yellow and blue color combination to celebrate and support the people of Ukraine from the unprovoked war that they are facing from Putin (I'm not going to say from Russia because I don't think the Russian people want this war, at least I hope not). She pulled this together quickly and I applaud her for doing so.
I made this for the challenge. I used a Pink Fresh stamp/stencil/die set. It's simple but fitting. I added the sentiment "strong" to emulate the Ukrainian people. I couldn't fit the secondary sentiment on the outside, so I stamped it on the inside.
"Today and Always" for certain.
I just realized that my banner header is in the Ukrainian colors of blue and yellow and has sunflowers, which is the flower of Ukraine. What a happy coincidence.
Thanks for stopping by!

Two beautiful cards, Lisa!
Both cards are beautiful! I love the simplicity of the first card and the folk pattern of the second is so fitting for a card to honor the Ukrainians. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
Lisa, I think both of your cards are really fabulous! The first one completely caught my attention right away in our gallery, it truly is a scroll stopper. I love my PFS stencils and I think I better put this one on my wish list too! As for card #2, it is certainly a perfect coincidence and so very pretty! Thanks for the kind words as it was quite a job to through this together...and for joining us for our Special Challenge at Color Hues! Take care!
Beautiful cards, Lisa! Love them both! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
