A card for Karen-art deco diva-who is our Teapotter recipient. I feel like I know Karen, even though I haven't met her. Warm, caring, lovely as can be is Karen. I would guess she is a very hopeful person.
I was gifted the ai background by Helen (helekins) the last Teapot tickle. I decided, since it was pink, it was perfect. The darker panel, I think, is Yupo and was my 'brayer off' paper for some project (don't remember the medium). All mounted on vanilla. The vellum piece is a belly band that slips off, open the triangles to see the bird on the ai background, open that top folded piece to reveal a sentiment. I believe I will use this sentiment: Hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soul-and sings the tunes without the words-and never stops at all. ~Emily Dickenson

Ah, a bird inside. I saw the wingtip and wondered if it was a butterfly, but I guess the feathers should have told me. It's amazing how well your brayer-off piece goes with the background from Helen. Very clever design, Jean.

She will love this! She is a positive person, a sweet person, and so easy to love! She will be so thankful for your prayers. Thank you.
