My first teapot challenge. I loved the latitude on this challenge. Thanks Marie! A dear friend loaned me her Kitchen Sink Hydrangeas which was used for this card. The background is Spellbinders lattice die. The string is Irish linen thread fastened with an SU button.
The sentiment inside came from the internet:
My thoughts and prayers are with you
But mainly God is there.
Through all your trials and troubles,
Your pain HeÂ’ll help you bear.
HeÂ’ll keep his arms around you,
HeÂ’ll walk with you each day.
HeÂ’ll guide, protect and comfort,
HeÂ’ll show you every way.

Irish linen thread? I'm interested .
Welcome along to the tea-parties - it's a super-fun group of people.
Your hydrangeas are just gorgeous, especially with the slightly stippled background and the lovely butterfly for an extra pop of colour.

What a gorgeous card you've brought to your first teaparty! Your coloring is awesome and the colors lovely! The hydrangeas are beautiful - and if Spring ever arrives, the exact same color should be popping up in my front yard!
