One choice for today's TLC was to use Lee-Anne's "Stencil Monoprint" technique which I did.
Francie was chosen as Featured Stamper yesterday and since I didn't have a chance to do a card in her honor then, I have combined it with today's TLC....which was a PERFECT match since Francie uses many stencils for the bgs on her fantastic and brilliantly colored cards.

A great card to honour Francie, indeed. And Sallie, what a wonderful way to use the stencil combined with the die; I just love the sort of "ghost" flowers and then the lightly coloured die-cut blossoms.

This is a fabulous card for Francie, Sallie! Your vivid colors are so gorgeous - and what a fantastic stencil to use for the technique! Like Sabrina, I love the die cut blossoms randomly placed across the piece, although it probably wasn't really random. The silhouette grasses accent the background perfectly. Francie will love this!

Jody is sooo right, Sallie - I just love this. First, what a wonderful pinkish color for the bg. You always bring things up a notch, which is what you did by adding the die cut and lightly colored flowers over the stenciled bg. The black grass and border make a perfect frame for this lovely work of art. Thank you for playing in the challenge. Into my favs.
