This week the Teapotters are sending hugs and support to Tricia who is experiencing some serious health issues following open heart surgery. Tricia is a Stampin' Up demonstrator so we were asked to use our favorite fun craft technique on our cards. I pulled out ALL my favorites for this card:
I love Alcohol Inks so I inked a panel with my Copic reinkers so it would match my flowers. I am totally enamored with the floating strips look right now as well as all the flower filled hearts I have seen recently, so that got added in. I used my favorite Altenew flower stamps and my favorite texture ef. And, voila, I made a card.
I hope Tricia enjoys the cards and hugs coming her way and I'm sure she will appreciate all the different techniques that will be used. I hope you are having a great day and getting to "play" with all your favorite crafty things too. TFL

Debbie - Those pinks are so cheerful and you have done a fabulous job on both the floating strips and the coloring on your floral arrangement. I especially like how some of the foliage is peeking out from behind the heart.

Spectacular! The design, the flower coloring/shading, and the amazing floating heart are outstanding. The EF in the BG is a perfect choice as is the beautiful headline...

fabulous design. The heart really pops out, and the colors are sheer perfection. The embossing added just the right touch. She will absolutely love this card ! I just might try a card like this for Mothers Day !

Debbie, I'm in AWE... This is just BEAUTIFUL! I've got to try the floating strip technique, your heart is beyond awesome! Tricia is going to appreciate this so much. Words can't express 'my' appreciation in participating in the teapot challenge on Tricia's behalf! I'm excited for her to see this, she will love it!
