Ooops sorry, I just realized that I forgot that vertical piece on the left. I'll probably remedy that with a thin strip of the purple glitter paper. Those touches in a sketch aren't intuitive to me and I tend to forget. Nice sketch though.
For the stenciling, I used Distress milled lavender, seedless preserves, dusty concord and black soot. I went with a dog theme, since I finally got some dog dies. I prefer dies to stamps because dogs are so individual. I put those doggies on a purple marbled piece from stash, probably made with Marabu marbling.
I wonder if Heather likes purple because of her name...heather is purplish. And no, I don't think purple dogs exist, except stuffed ones. I'll probably stamp 'thinking of you' inside. I hope our cards help her spirits. Can't imagine.

Wonderful card- love the stenciling! And, those pups are so sweet in diecut form! Actually, in China, we saw lots of pups that were white that people spray paint in all colors. Yes, some were bright colors, and others one color. Crazy I know!

Love the depth of artistic talent here, bfnm! The stencil work, kool marbled bg, glitter hearts hanging amongst the beloved canines…such a comforting work of heart. And the skinny vertical element to finish, well done.

This is such a caring card for Heather, Jean. Beautiful shades of purple and texture in your stenciling and the sparkly hearts and even that yummy piece of dp~

I love that stencil and I love the way you used it here for the sketch -- very creative. And, that sentiment is so true and so poignant. Beautiful card.
