I am a little late to the tea party, but here is my card for Grace. Grace is a beautiful little girl who has such a happy personality even though she has had to deal with serious health problems. So, all the teapotters are sending her bright, cheerful cards to wish her a happy 4th birthday. This card is also for the CC486 to use old olive, coral and daffodile delight. The SC496 saved me by giving me the layout...I had already chosen this long stamp, so it was perfect for this week's sketch. I had already made the card when I saw the WT487 to use textures. Here are the textures - the bkg patchwork piece is dry embossed, but you can't see it in the photo. It really looks quilted IRL. The bear is done with the tole technique...he is 8 layers thick and very chunky. Not a good technique for someone who is traumatized by fussy cutting. The top set of balloons are popped up on pop dots and 3 of the balloons have a thick layer of glossy accents.
The balloon strings are black thread and tge bows are twine. The bear and balloons are colored with prisma pencils. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. TFL, Francie

Wow! This is awesome and I love your quilt. I had to laugh about someone could possibly be traumatized by the fussy cutting. Your bear is so cute with all the layers and fun balloons. What a fab card.
