Today's Free for All is to CASE a card by someone we admire on SCS. There are so many but I can't CASE them all so went with Loll Thompson. My reasons are numerous: she makes gorgeous cards, she always leaves wonderful comments on my cards, she is incredibly generous (we live fairly close to each other and she has shared supplies, taught me techniques, and most of all, has donated about 40 Christmas cards for the past two years to the fundraising sale I have each November). Speaking of that sale, I'm still in the Christmas mood so happy to carry on making Christmas cards for my stash for next year's sale. I have one friend who only wants cards with doves on them so always have to do quite a few on that theme.
One of the techniques she taught me was Faux Mother of Pearl. So I used that on my card as she did on hers, but changed my colours to true blue, used a die instead of a stamp for "peace", and changed the layout.
She's a better photographer than I am so her mother of pearl effect shows better, but IRL mine is quite pearly too.
Thank you, Loll, for everything!

First, beautiful CASE of Loll's card, and second, I think Loll is amazing, too! Terrific choice!
