Ribbon of Courage for ICS Blog Hop October

Today’s project is a double Z-fold card made using the Ribbon of Courage Bundle (Ribbon of Courage stamp set and Support Ribbon Framelits dies) for the ICS Blog Hop. The theme for this month’s hop is Colors of Courage. We’ve made projects to inspire those wanting to send cards or projects to friends/family in cancer treatment.

The Ribbon of Courage stamp set is perfect for this month’s theme.

Here’s what I made:
