I am bringing encouraging thoughts, purple, gingham, and flowers to our TeaParty this week. Thank you, Susie for facilitating the TeaPotter this week! And Ally's sketch was the foundation. This is going in the mail today for our fellow TeaPotter, Donnajeanne.
I've put lots of Donna's favorite color into this card. Two sizes of gingham pattern, beautiful Asters, a tad bit of German Scrap that was embossed with Vintage Plum ep. And an encouraging word sprinkled with translucent gold.
Life is definitely sweet and sour. I am glad we have this marvelous community where we can sprinkle positivity and our art into one of our own! Tears and smiles, love and hugs, Donna.

Susan this looks fabulous and is no doubt even more special in real life with the rich texture and gorgeous bow. Thank you for bringing this beauty to the teaparty for DonnaJeanne.

A double dose of purple gingham....brilliant, especially the embossed bg. Looks like we used the same scrap on our cards but you embossed yours...hmmm, never considered that...cool idea. Great quote on this wonderful card for our Teapotter friend.

Almost looks like the CC again....love your choices of different things for the horizontal pieces. Are the asters dried? Very cool. And lookie, a diamond shape in the middle, just like me. Great minds....etc. awesome creation.

Beautiful my oRe friend. I love how you did this. Love the ef you used (or the pre-embossed paper) on the gingham paper. I'm sure Donna will love this.

Love the paper gingham and the fabric gingham together on your fabulous card. The embossing reminds me of an old quilt full of love and memories. I know Donna will love it.
