Sallie is one of my favorite stampers on SCS..her style is not only beautiful and artistic but her warmth and humor shine through on all the wonderful comments she leaves for others. I didn't get a chance to honor her when she was Queen before so I am happy for this second chance. My card is loosely based on this card of hers. This is also for the MIX challenge which was to use stencils..my bg was made with my gelli plate, stencils, and acrylic paints. I added the diamond border (F4A179) with a homemade stencil and distress ink. The woman's face is stamped on mulberry paper. Here's to you Queen Sallie!!

This is the fantastic type of collage card that I only dreamed of making! You are mastering your backgrounds! What a fabulous tribute to Sallie! You are a unique, creative designer!

I am loving that look that one achieves with the gelli plate. I am just going to have to make that investment. Gorgeous collage.

Just love the colors on this! Your BG is amazing, and I love the offbeat combination of the four elements - the face, the sentiment, the butterfly and the jewels. Really a great mix and everything perfectly placed!

This is fantastic, Polly. I love the bg you created with your gelli plate, and your collage with the 3d butterly is wonderful. You did Sallie proud with your take on her card.
