We got some really bad news last night. Our sweet friend Betty is dying. They say she only has two weeks left. My mom and dad are going to visit today, so I sent this card along with a picture of my boys inside. She loves my boys.
Thanks again to everyone who sent Betty cards for her tea party. She really loved them. I have to go let the Teapotters know...
I love Lyn's technique today for Betty's card because it reminds me of a quilt and Betty loves quilting. So after I finished the background I did some stitching around it. I colored this lovely Power Poppy image that I know Betty will love and that works great for Melody's VSN challenge. And I used SC58 to put it all together.

First, hugs and prayers from GA...I am so sorry to hear about your friend Betty. She sounds like such a wonderful person.
Second, your card is beautiful! I love the BG stamps you chose and the stitching and other elements you tied it together with are just perfect! The card is like a big hug - wonderful!

So sorry to hear the news about Betty. Your pretty card does look like a vintage quilt and I love the pretty stitches you added. The power poppy image is gorgeous too.

So sad to hear about your friend, Jen. She'll love this card, your background is really beautiful and does look like old scraps of fabric. The main image is so lovely too.
