This is for the Color Challenge and for The Tea Pot Challenge!
Thank you Karen and Sheri for the wonderful challenges!
The background was watercolored by dragging certainly celery and barely banana on card stock then spritzing. I then used a brush and added a little pretty in pink. Was not happy with it so added some white acrylic paint. the flowers were water colored, then added white acrylic paint to tips. Foliage was die cut and water colored. Pearls and tiny die cut flowers were added. TFL
This card will be sent to sweet Cindy "Mothermark"!

Oh, Fran, this is gorgeous, and I love the background and how you've added the acrylic paint. And this flower is gorgeous along with this precious sentiment of comfort and hope! I know Cindy is going to love this card, sweet friend! It's so very sad for her to lose her dear Kenny. Hugs!

Oh Francie, your card is exquisite. Cindy will see the warmth and peace immediately. Your sentiment is wonderful, Francie and so is your coloring. You may have stepped away for awhile, but let me assure, you've not missed a heartbeat. Your cards are beautiful.

This card is so beautiful Francie. I love the background and how you achieved it. I love that sentiment. And the flower, leaves and flourish are gorgeous.
