I made this card for this week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. This week, the cards are going to our very own SCS DonnaJeanne who lost her dear husband just before Christmas. Donna sent me a Teapot Tuesday card during Christmas week which just speaks volumes to me, and is very humbling knowing she did this while grieving a very recent loss.
This is the first card I have made in nearly 3 months and I have forgotten how to stamp! But, I am getting the hang of it again. The gingham panel is stamped with a background stamp so all the purple is perfectly matched. This is the first time I have used this stamp set and it has a bit of a artsy feel to it because the stamp layers do not line up perfectly. I was surprised by this, but I am getting used to it now.
My heart truly goes out to Donna Jeanne, and I am so glad we are sending her lots of paper hugs and love this week. Thanks for hosting this wonderful Teapot Party Susie and thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

Karen, this card is so gorgeous! I love the plaid background stamp, and those irises look expertly water-colored! I don't think you've lost your touch at all, my friend! I'm happy to see you in the gallery with this lovely creation!
