Lisa is hosting this weeks special teaparty for Sandy, a dear friend of Shelly aka SCS'r mcshmidty.
I have taken my inspiration from the fabulous pink and purple pot that Lisa found for us. The flowers on the pot reminded me of this Sherri Baldy image.
The background was one of the many failed attempts I have had using Karen Dunbrooks terrific Scrape Painting tutorial shown on the HOME page.
I took all the failed pieces and squirted some Jane Davenport metallic paint on one piece, then squished it into all the other pieces.
To add a bit of interest I rubbed some white paint over a stencil using my finger. As the paint dried it seemed to absorb the colour from underneath. I like the effect so I did not repeat the process.
The photo looks purply-pink, but in real life it is more pinky-purple. Somewhere between making the card and taking the photo "hello" has fallen off. I will fix that now before I walk to the post box.
Thank you for looking. Stay safe.

Magical Susie, this is magical. My mouth always opens when I see a card of yours, and it never closes until I leave. The background is stunning, and the image is just beyond sweetness. Loving this.

How bright and cheerful is this little cutie. Her smile just makes you so happy - and the recipient is going to really treasure this card. Busy counting up all the different shades of Pink on this card. Of course - she has pearls on too.
This is darling! What a super cute card! I, of course, love all the pink! I agree the white stenciled circles look amazing as is! Your "Hello" falling off made me smile. I have had gems fall off and notice it in photo editing because they need to be there for balance.

Thanks for the wonderful welcome back after my long absence and for all your encouragement and love! And thank you for the lovely comment on my card.
