My FS58 card CASING the very talented BeckyTE. Your gallery is fantastic :-) Thanks Beth for choosing another very inspiring stamper.
My card is for my 90 yo long time friend, Kay. We (family and friends) got Kay all moved into Assisted Living. I just wanted to welcome Kay with a small piece of my love and art. Kay has gorgeous art works and will appreciate the 3 hrs. it took me to make her card. Kay is truly a treasure and I love her dearly. BTW, the vase was given to me by Kay and is filled with one of her favorite flowers...forsythia.
Accessories: Many SU markers, tp sponging on pumpkin frame and main image, poly twill choc. chip, cutter kit, mat pack, stampamajig, dimensional tape, sakura clear stardust pen on center of each flower
Techniques: tp sponging, coloring with markers and blender pen, distressing

That is gorgeous , Nancy!! A lovely , cheerfully coloured card!! Congrats on your first FS challenge!! Beautiful work! Lovely image - and what a special way to help settle your friend Kay into an assisted living situation.. usually a challenge for the person involved - but a good situation for them too.

Nancy, your card is beautiful!! I can see every stroke of love that went into it, and I know that Kay will love it also. You should also give her a picture of it by the special vase she gave you. True long time friends are rare and are definitely a treasure. You both are blessed. Thanks for sharing and for playing along.

What a wonderful loving card for Kay! I agree with BeckyTE about the photo . . . Kay will be so tickled! You're a good friend and I'm sure she will be touched with your talents!
Beautiful card, Nancy! I love the basket of potted plants and distressed layers! The sponging around the main image is lovely, as is the piercing. The sentiment is one of my favorites! What a nice welcoming card!
