This week the Tea Potters are sending paper hugs and notes of caring to Teresa who, sadly, is nearing the end of her battle with cancer. Teresa is a twin so our hostess, Polly, asked us to use doubles. I have loosely interpreted "doubles" as "pairs".
I recently received this PB stamp set and I loved all the stamps of the Kitty hugging his many and varied friends. I thought that might be a good message for my card. I die cut the frame; stamped and masked the images; stenciled the bg; colored them all in. Added the heart and hugs. I tried for a red, white, blue theme as a nod to the post office as Teresa worked for the postal service for 30 years.
Penny Black critters always make me smile and I am hoping these guys will bring a smile to Teresa. I can't imagine going through her ordeal but I truly hope our cards and messages will give her some comfort and, hopefully, a bit of joy and relief from this very difficult situation. I hope your day is filled with joy too and plenty of hugs. TFL

This is sure going to make Theresa smile cause I sure am. Love those critters so much. Color me enabled, lol. So super cute and gorgeous stencilling in the background. Beautiful coloring on those sweet images too, Debbie.

Beautiful and cute! Your stenciling is fab and your Copic coloring/shading is awesome. Great colors and the die-cut heart/headline are perfect...

Penny Black has some wonderful critter images and you have used these to perfection. I love all the hugs that are heading to Theresa - you have done a super job of bringing them to life with your coloring.
