Oh, my goodness, so beautiful and calming. Such a lovely artistic effect with the stamp and stencil. I'm stealing time to visit all your posts today, but sorry I can't linger to comment on all. What an inspiring visit. I'm eager to get back to card making, but home circumstances... Rich took a turn and was in the hospital. Now I'm needing to devote more time to him and home chores.

Beautifully designed with such an artistic flare. Got to love an easier card too. This one looks fun to do and love the color combination.

CAS just works wonders with your monochromatic color scheme - such a pretty card and it would be wonderful for a Sympathy card, as well!

Lovely combination of colors, stencil and stamp, Loll. Would also make a great sympathy card.

This is absolutely beautiful in shades of green Loll and really elegant with the stamped foliage and stencilled flourish in a paler green in the background. I have been away for a couple of weeks but will be thinking about doing a card using this technique as I love the monochrome look. x
