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.

I was thinking that your colorful background really would make nice wallpaper irl! Love your floating shelves, and those succulents look perfect on them as well as birdie!

Beautiful card, Sabrina! Love the colors, and that stenciled background. (I have yet to try that technique, it's on my list of things to do!) What a clever idea to create shelves for your sweet aloe plants! That cute little bird is such an adorable addition to your lovely card!

Sabrina, your stencil is FABULOUS and I love the colors you chose for it. Both happy and soothing -- just like Aloe Vera. Your plants are delightful and I love how you made those shelves float. That little bird on the bottom shelf is a special and fun addition. Awesome card. Enjoy your vacation.

Sabrina, Mary got your card on Saturday. She wanted me to be sure to thank everyone who sent her a card. This is what she said, "Just absolutely amazing! Every one is different -- every one is full of kinds and encouraging words! Thank you! What an amazing gift!"
