hi there,
Here is my card for the WT today; Memories. Going back into our galleries to some of the first cards we posted was fun and interesting to see how we have evolved.
Here is the one that inspired today's card: live by k dunbrook at Splitcoaststampers
Whenever I am inking and there is leftover ink on my non-stick mat, I always slap it onto another piece of cs as I hate to waste the ink. That's where this piece began as it was sitting in my stash. I added some stenciling to the bkg and stamped using my Misti. I used the look of the silhouette flowers as my inspiration.
thanks for looking. https://snippets-karen.blogspot.com/...reminisce

Gorgeous as always, Karen! Your first card carries the seeds of the style one thinks of when we see your name. The words, blue, clean and simple, and backgrounds are sure to please.

Both cards are gorgeous, Karen, but I must say that I often stalk your gallery because I love your backgrounds so much and this newer version of your card highlights one of your signature techniques...I can always spot one of your beautiful cards in the gallery!

Wow, I think it’s fascinating to see one of your cards with so many layers. Not what I expect from you. Of course, I love them both and I love that you don’t waste any ink. You know my motto—never throw anything away!

Karen, you are the Queen of Backgrounds! This update of one of your older cards is a testament to your unique talent to create a backdrop that has depth, visual texture and dynamism without distracting from the focal image. I have bookmarked & saved many of your creations to use as study guides, and this one will be added to that list. It is gallery-worthy! TFS

I can see the fun inspiration from your first card to this one and love how you turned your first card to more of a cas on your new card. Both cards are great and it is fun to go back to our earlier cards for inspiration for new cards.
