Sarah has a wonderful gallery; I had already favorited one of her cards from this week. But that isn't the card I used; this is it: Summer Makeup by Sarah.Jane at Splitcoaststampers
I liked the large panel, no layers to speak of, the scattered gems, the words in different directions.
I made my background with the Gelli Plate and stencils. I punched some cs circles and used those as a stencil, using a light paint to cover most of the stencils but highlighting some of the stenciled areas. I also sponged some swirls with the Memento ink and a stencil and stamped my sentiments using the same. I used sequins instead of gems.
This is also for the MIX 26 (use stencils and two mediums) and yesterday's IC challenge. I chose this bedspread and sham: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban...SEARCH+RESULTS
I love mandalas and thought my stencils had some of those shapes. The colors of my card are similar to Sarah's and to the bedding.
My daughter and I are going to start writing letters and notes to each other so this one will go to her. We live in the same state but on opposite sides. While I'm at it, I'll also write to my two year old granddaughter, Clare. Another granddaughter is due very soon so I'll write to her too. Writing letters is a lost art.

I love your case! What a cool idea for the words.
I also love your idea of writing letters. My friend in FL and I still snail mail. It's nice getting something other than junk and bills.
