Here's my first ever alpha challenge and my first teapot challenge - an ink smooshed background and some hope for a dear lady who has had a truly awful year.

I LOVE that die and it looks fabulous on your smooshed bg. It does look like a stained glass window. And the jewel on the "O" is perfect. I'm sure this will be much appreciated and enjoyed by Theresa. And Congrats joining some challenges. You will find them addictive. I know I did. Look forward to seeing more of your cards in the future.

I have yet to try the stained glass effect - thanks for the reminder! It looks beautiful with that fantastic die. The background is beautiful with it, and the single large gem is stunning.
