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.

This is one sweet image and such beautiful coloring on her and on the background! I love that background. It would be fun to see IRL because I'll bet it's even prettier. Those white dots really are fun and add lots of interest, not that it needed any more than just that girly and her hat!

What a fun, fabulous image! Love the way you've colored her. You always have such a creative way of rescuing your "mistakes"!

Absolutely gorgeous and adorable! I read how you made this beauty and especially how you did the white "finger painting." Ingenious. The colors on this gem are perfect. Just pinned this.Betty

Oh Miss Susie this Bestie image is too cute. And the background is perfect for her. I especially love the added white bubble dots. Shelly is going to adore this super cute card.
