It's time for another Teapot Tuesday challenge. Today our cards will be going to Cindy's niece, Shari. Who was diagnosed with breast cancer the week before Christmas. We are sending our cards to Shari, to give her a little love and encouragment during her treatments.
Here are the details for today's teaparty challenge.
My digital image is from a fund raiser by Jak Heath for Katie Renz who is battling cancer as well. It is from the set "Lovin from the oven" by Kim Teasdale.
I coloured the bowl with Stampin Up certainly celery and Tombow #158. Next I used a white gel pen to draw in the lines on the bowl - trying to match up with the checkered dp. I coloured the cherries and the heart with Stampin Up Ruby red marker and a Marthat Stewart Marker - Pink flmingo. I coloured the cherries the way they are on the designer paper.

I looked all over for a "Bowl of Cherries". I gave up and went a different direction. But you reminded me that I had it in my Jak Heath for Katie download.

What a fabulous bowl of cherries, and what fabulous layering with the contrasting black and white, and the punched border under the ribbon. Beautiful...

You did an awesome job of colouring those cherries. I love your stitching as well. Guess we aren't far off in BC to those wonderful cherry blossoms, can't wait.
