Karen has been a LONG time member of SCS and has a gallery of over 2000 cards(lots of inspiration there). She leaves many comments for other card makers and participates in many of the challenges.
I chose this card of hers for inspiration for a masculine birthday card that is for man whose hobby is brewing beer. Karen's is much prettier with the flowers. : )
Karen, A BIG CONGRATULATIONS!! It was hard to believe that you had not been honored years ago. Glad that was rectified today. Hugs.

What a fun card! I love the colors and the way those colors show through the overlapping beer bottles.
I can't believe Karen hasn't been a featured stamper before, either!

This is the perfect card for a man, Sallie! Love those bottles & the colors are so warm & wonderful. Once upon a time, my BIL wanted one of those home beer brewing kits..my sis nixed that idea. Knowing him, she just pictured him becoming a hermit in the basement w/ all his bottles of home brew, lol. Plus she has way too many honey do projects for him.

Thanks Sallie for casing one of my cards. I love, love what you've done with these bottles. I, too, like that they show through each other and this is perfect for the brewer! Thanks also for all your kind comments.

Fablous card inspired by Karen's lovely one. This is perfect for the person you described. Love the colors. The stenciled bottles stacked together are terrific. I like how you tilted some of them. Well done! TFS
