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.

Ye gads, Pat, could this be any more perfectly done??? I think not, as those cherries look REAL beyond belief! I am ready to pluck one of them right outta the bowl! Your BG papers, colors and layout with the nesties are so natural looking - and the stitching is out of this world
Shari will love this homespun beauty - sure to bring a smile too her face! You done good, Pat!!

Wow girl, you have a creative mind, drawing the lines on your bowl to match bg paper. It's the little things like that, that makes your work so special. I love the black bg paper with the cherries. Your card is so cheerful and bright. I'm sure it will brighten Shari's day receiving this work of art. TFS
