This week's Tea Party is for Heather in Florida, a dog lover who is battling stage four breast cancer. Lisa has challenged us to use dogs and Heather's favorite color, purple, on our cards. I couldn't resist this cute boatload of dogs. I felt like I was practically making the same card this week as the one I made last week, though! For this one, I stamped the dogs, masked a moon and water and sponged a purple and black sky. Then I splattered with white acrylic stars. After I colored the dogs, I watercolored the water using DOX inks, and added some Stickles. Then I sponged the moon with my favorite Grunge stencil to make the craters. I sure hope Heather gets a lot of cute pups in the mail to lift her spirits!

This is the cutest card, Jen. I love the boatload of doggies and that beautiful moon and sky. I had a chuckle when I read your comment on my bird watching card.

I love this stamp and I have to admit it jumped into my mind as soon as I saw this challenge. So, obviously, I think you made a great choice here. I love the way you colored it up and I'm over the moon for your moon -- those craters are great. Wonderful card and I am sure it will feel like a big supportive hug to Heather.

Wow, great card with the boatload of puppies, Jen! I love the design with the stickles on the watercoloured water and great sky with it’s colouring and cratered moon!

What a fantastic image, that boatload of dogs is just brilliant, and so is the scene you created for them. One of my favourite childhood books was called Go Dog, Go, and my second-favourite picture in it was dogs in a boat on a moonlit sea.
