Today's tea party is for Melanie who is battling cancer. She is a friend of SCS FayeMakesCards.
Those who know me well will realize what a labor of love this truly was for me . . . .I do NOT DOODLE - it is so far out of my comfort zone that I practically hyperventilate at the thought! But the vision in my head cried out for this type of border . . . .
I decided to start with that aspect in case it didn't pan out for me. I stamped The Heidi Grace corner with DOX ink - so far so good - Took a deep breath, picked up a pink marker and filled in all the edges between the corners with hand drawn hugs & swirls. Finished this with tiny dots all around. (Breath a sigh of relief!) It seems to merge pretty good . . . Stamped the bear on scrap stock, colored with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut. Adhered with mounting foam and finished with some large Iridescent sequins and the stamped sentiment from the Unity set Warm Inside.
I'll get this in the mail as soon as I get off work today.

I think you doodle just fine! Love your adorable bear, and you've colored him so sweetly!
