Thank you for your incredible tutorial. WOW, this card completely blew me away! I made it for a 22 year old friend of my son who was wounded by gun fire in Afganistan and is recovering in a Maryland Naval hospital. We are so proud of what he has given our country and I wanted to send him a card worthy of what he has done for us. This card was a lot of work but SO MUCH fun! I learned so many things. I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am that I found your tutorial! I love everything you do! Pat
P.S. I posted the card on SCS!

Wow. You did indeed show how much a stamp can be improved upon. Your silhouette is fantastic! I would have looked at this stamp and thought it was way too busy, but you took it and made an incredible card. Great job!

I adore your work. It inspires me. Question on sponging for you. I read where you get your sponges and what type they are, so that’s answered. Some of my sponging shows up with faint markings. Best I can describe is swizzle marks, instead of the softness your comes across as. I’ve tried starting off the paper and going onto it with circular motions. Using classic SU pad too. It doesn’t always happen so am confused. Thank you for all you teach us! It is wonderful!

Michelle, I follow your blog faithfully. It has been a while since I have commented on your art. This one is amzing and a bit different than most of the things you have done. Gorgeous work!

Of course we missed you! Glad that you had such a fun and safe trip. I love this card. I do a lot of cards for Cards for Hero’s and have done some similar ones, but I like yours even better. For anyone who’s interested, CFH is a great organization. Check out their website at http://www.cardsforheros.org. Thanks again for all your tutorials, I get new ideas from you each time!

Another shout out from one of the Minnesota attendees. I showed them to several of my (non-stamping) friends and they are all suitably impressed! I can’t wait to get into the craft room and get back to brayering! Life is crazy busy as usual, though. Hopefully by the weekend…….
Thanks again, it was so wonderful to learn from you! You are my stamping guru!
