A card for this week's teapot Tuesday challenge. The card will go to a lady called Linda, who needs encouragement. The challenge calls for a focus on peace, but I am focusing on something to make her happy, which may result in peace. I used a panel that I used to practise an alcohol ink technique on. Several different colours, a muted red and two colours of blue, as well as gold. the sentiment is heat embossed in black. I had to touch up the word everyday with a white gel pen, in order to read it.

Oh, Ina - your polished stone (well, as I learnt it, which was with alcohol inks) is just beautiful! And a focus on the positive is always a good message for us. I'm sure Linda will really enjoy this card and be blessed by it.

I love making polished stone backgrounds and no 2 seem to come out the same but look great. Love the sentiment! Your background looks nice under your flower images.
