Color Hues Challenge - Special Tribute

I am playing along with the team at Color Hues for this challenge. 

Lindsey was a team member there and at Seize the Birthday Challenge. Unfortunately, Lindsey passed away last year from Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Lindsey's husband thought t would be an effective way to sell off all her crafting supplies. The proceeds will go to a fund in Lindsey's name.

These colors where Lindsey's favorite. 

Here is my card

White card stock for the base and a Criss Cross die from Amazon. 

Honey Bee Lovely layers Rose in red card stock

The butterfly is Gina K Fluttering Fall Stencil in Purple ink. 

The sentiment is from Spellbinders Gift Border and sentiments. 

This cause is close to my heart as I lost my sister and best friend to Clear Cell Cancer 6 years ago. It is a rare cancer and there is no cure. Much research still needs to be done.

I used a stamp and die that is titled Sweet Spring! 

You can make it fall with just a change of color, 

Remember if you use our toppings on your card, you have a chance to be a guest designer.

This will be a quick post. 
I just saw a challenge that was inviting, and I made a card for it.
