This is very pretty Kathy! I love that stenciled background :) Thanks for joining us at Krafty Chicks Challenge this week xoxox
Your stenciled background is wonderful and quite unique. Adding the cone flowers was the right choice as they add something special but don't hide the background. Thanks for joining us at MMM, Johanna DT
I love the look of the numbers all over the background of the ATC Kathy and the added black silhouette flowers with sparkly centres using stickles go perfectly, and then the card with the super guitar and the purple stencilled circles over the corner works brilliantly..a beautiful music themed card. x
Brilliant inky ATC. Perfect addition of the cone flowers too.
Love the guitar card. Perfect for someone I know well!!! X
great cards as usual and well done on being the first at the Less is More challenge
What a cool stencil idea - I love the jumble of numbers! So pretty behind that simple lovely stem! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!
Ooo, I love this! So elegant! Thanks for sharing this with us at The Paper Shelter!

Both your ATC and your A2 size card are super creative. Love the number stencil paired with the flowers and the guitar card would appeal to any music lover. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday, Kathy.
What a fun make, Kathy! I love the stenciling in the grape ink - perfect background for the guitar! Thanks for playing over at LIM.
The stenciling on both cards is spectacular! I can't decide which stencil I like better - the numbers or the circles. Great job! Thanks for playing with us at Make My Monday Challenge! I hope to see you in the gallery again soon. Sue - DT
