I definitely did not want to miss this weeks MMTPT296 The Courage of One Challenge for sweet Kathleen Lammie. Kathleen will be having major surgery and needs all our positive thoughts and prayers.
Kathleen is the sweetest talented stamper. I chose This Tag of Kathleen's to CASE and made my tag into a card.
We are all thinking of you Kathleen with lots of positive thoughts and prayers. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hugs, Nancy
BTW, I brayered Poppy Parade onto the top layer of the Decorative Dots folder and then Dry EB the So Saffron layer. I love the effect.

Love your stenciled background with the hexagons, Nancy! It sure adds textures and interest! Thanks so much for joining the fun at Virginia's View Challenge!

This one is sure to tug Kathleens heartstrings!
How thoughtful you are to case one of her cards!
What a nice personal touch!
This turned out lovely! I tried inking an EF once and it was just a mess, didn't really get a good result on mine!

Not only are you the Queen of mixing DPs, but now you are also a Master of layering stencils! There is so much going on with this card, yet it doesn't come off as "too busy" or jumbled. And the way you did the dotted background comes off as so whimsical and cheerful.
