I have been away from card making for health reasons and it felt great to make a card this morning! I missed the creative expression, "therapy," the challenges and of course, ya'll!
Congrats to Melissa on being chosen as our FS this week. I was inspired by these nice b+w floral cards in her gallery. As well, I was inspired by this Mason jar of flowers from Saturday's IC inspiration site. I turned this week's FMS192 sketch upside down for my card. As well, I am submitting my card for the SOS207 masculine challenge.
I stamped, masked, stenciled, colored, stamped again, sponge distressed, erased, and applied glitter to make my card. Hee.
It feels good to be back, thanks for looking!

What a stunning card, Gabby. You have been missed. Since my faves go from Sun to Sun, this will be in this weeks list. Your bg is amazing and I love how you colored the jar and flowers. Welcome back.
