If you know anyone you think would enjoy being the recipyof a card shower for any reason - support, encouragement, celebration, just because - the contact details are in the first challenge post.
I'm currently away on vacation, but as we had a good friend who stayed with us on and off through her first cancer journey, I really wanted to send Mary a card (our friend was a Mary too, coincidentally.)
I used Karen's TLC challenge - TLC953 ~ Torn Paper Stenciling- O5/29/2023 by k dunbrook at Splitcoaststampers using Eclipse tape for my torn strips, and DOX inks. The closest I could come to succulents were the aloe- like stamps from my Honeybee Stick With Me set. I coloured them with Polychromos and fussy -cut them Used foam tape to creat floating shelves and added my pots and plants. Couldn't fit a sentiment on the front but added a Scripture verse inside.

Love how you incorporated so many wonderful elements! That torn paper/stencilled BG looks fantastic, and the floating shelves are a cool way to present the potted plants!

Love the colors and design of this Sabrina. I have this stencil and am going to try blending it like you did. It looks like wallpaper. Mary is sure to love this bright beauty!
