This week's Tea Party guest, Katelyn, needs some Teapotter cheer as she battles some serious health problems. Our hostess asked us to fill her home with Spring. Katelyn also loves Shabby Chic which for me means: lots of white, a bit of distress, pinks, roses and lace. Even though I have those elements here, I didn't quite hit the Shabby Chic mark. But with the pink, I did manage Spring colors. And, I really do like how this turned out.
I started my card by randomly swiping DOX on the inside of the EF. I wanted it hit and misss to look a bit distressed. It shows up better IRL than in the photo. The lacy frame was die cut and inked direct to paper with the same DOX. The rest are die cuts that were colored with COPICs. I didn't know the card needed a butterfly til I added it and it really finished it off nicely for me...and it's a butterfly...win/win.
I hope Katelyn will be cheered and encouraged by all the lovely cards headed her way. And I hope you all are experiencing a beautiful day -- whether it's Spring or Winter, I hope it's beautiful. TFL

How did I miss this beauty? I love how you colored those vintage roses and I agree that the butterfly was the perfect addition. Love your embossing folder, also.

Not sure which I love more - that beautiful pink frame, the embossing folder or that gorgeous flower in shades of pink - they all come together to make a very lovely card!
