This week's Teaparty Destination is our own sweet Brenda (Benzi). The challenge details include a landscape orientation to the card, garden/outdoors theme, and something camouflage/hidden. I wrote in some tiny scripture in my watercolor painting - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 and Psalm 23:4.
I watched this tutorial before painting the garden:

Leave it to you, Nancy to come up with something clever. The hidden scripture is genius! I had to look twice...I didn't notice it until after I read your description. Sneaky lady. Love your watercolor hydrangeas too. Wonderful card for the O'Rears.

Your watercolor hydrangeas are just gorgeous. What a beautifully crafted scene and the scripture tucked inside is such a meaningful detail. I know Brenda and Tommy will treasure this.
A brand‑new ATC/Coin Swap is sailing in for June, and our theme is "The Sea". Hope you’ll dive in and join the fun! All the details are waiting for you here.

Wow, Nancy, what a beautiful work of art this is! Love the colors you used for your hydrangeas, so comforting and peaceful! Hugs!
