I used the inspiration of Dawn Olchefske's card and technique Mosic Tile Port Hole by dostamping at Splitcoaststampers to make this card for CAKath aka Kathy. Kathy is one of the warmest and kindest stampers that I have "met" on SCS. I was heartened that Mothermark had made Kathy our Tuesday destination as she recently lost her sister to cancer. She knows that she has been in my heart and prayers, but I wasn't able to play along last week. Sorry for the delay, Kathy.
I inked Penny Black Brushstroke Irises with markers, then misted them and stamped on Flourishes cream CS. Using Dawn's mosaic tile embossing technique, I stamped with Versamark over the image, clear embossed then sponged with Desert Sand and Rich Cocoa. Matted with Artichoke CS. Adhered some Japanese hand-made paper askew on a cream card, running the ribbon and trim under the paper. Applied the image panel with the MS punched border and tied the bow. Added the SU sentiment on a long scalloped rectangle nestie. Punched flower and branches, added pearls and done. PT - 9
If you know Kathy and have not yet done so, send some SCS lovin' her way: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Thank you so much for looking. Thanks Dawn for the inspiration. Have a peaceful day.

Marie, this is so soft and lovely with the purples and greens. I did not know that Kathy's sister died. How sad. I know she lost and misses her mother so much, and now another family member. My heart aches for her. THanks for sharing this with us.

Love PB flowers and you have used them fabulously on this card. Love the BG to the flowers too. Fabulous card and I'm sure it will be treasured when received.
