It's time for another Teapot Tuesday challenge. Today our cards will be going to Cindy's niece, Shari. Who was diagnosed with breast cancer the week before Christmas. We are sending our cards to Shari, to give her a little love and encouragment during her treatments.
Here are the details for today's teaparty challenge.
My digital image is from a fund raiser by Jak Heath for Katie Renz who is battling cancer as well. It is from the set "Lovin from the oven" by Kim Teasdale.
I coloured the bowl with Stampin Up certainly celery and Tombow #158. Next I used a white gel pen to draw in the lines on the bowl - trying to match up with the checkered dp. I coloured the cherries and the heart with Stampin Up Ruby red marker and a Marthat Stewart Marker - Pink flmingo. I coloured the cherries the way they are on the designer paper.

How fun that we're gallery neighbors and used the same image! Those soft shades of green are perfect with that yummy looking bowl of cherries, and as always, your stitching is the quintessential design feature.

This is such a pretty cheerful card for Shari. Love the way you did the bg in green and the bowl to match. Your stitching around the border is terrific as always.
