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.

Ah! I was looking at Marabu kits recently. Obviously they work well. I love your ombre stencilling...all my least-used purples (wilted violet is my go-to). Great dog dies and sentiment.

Beautifully designed card .... love the dog silhouettes against that pretty marbled paper. The glittery hearts and purple stenciling look wonderful!
