For Polly's Stencil Salutations MMTPT challenge. We're sending our cards to encourage a friend of SueEllen's who is dealing with cancer. Remember we're always happy to send cards to a destination you suggest - details of how to propose someone are in a stickied thread in the challenge forum.
I spent quite a while taking breaks from the housework yesterday and working on a piece to use as my background - and then decided it didn't need the addition of a stencil. So I raided my background box for a gel print with purple.
Gel print from stash.
OBDB (Divinity Designs) Scripture Collection 1 stamped on white card and embossed. Cut with Labels 18, sponged with Mowed Lawn distress while in the die, then stamped with leaf from Vintage Vogue. Spellbinder trellis cut from white card, torn and laid underneath. Foliage is Cheery Lynnâs small Fanciful Flourish. The flowers (ODBD aster) are cut from alcohol inks on photo paper, with microbeads in the centre. The bird is an old Spellbiners die, and itâs cut from a piece of card which was a bokeh background created with a homemade stencil. I sponged a bit of green on the cap, masked part off and stamped Music Notes in some dark blue. Enamel Accents for the eye. This is the verse I nearly used the other day when I was asked to make a "typical of me" card and send it to somebody, so it was still in my mind. I hope it comforts Cammie.

I love the depth of color in that gel print - it really sets the stage for the trellis & vines overlay. sponging over the sentiment gave it a beautiful glow and with the added stampings, I really thought you had started with dP. This card is an absolute beauty!

This is really stunning Sabrina. Your background gel print is truly stunning and showcases your trellis, vines, bird and sentiment panel beautifully. Cammie is really going to love this Sabrina. ~Karen.

Great gelli print bg, but the bird is my favorite - so soft and sweet and music on him is perfect. Such a lovely card, Sabrina. I know she will appreciate it. Your cards are always a treat. Hugz
