Today's Tea Party is for Ashley's friend Sharon who was an avid runner until she got sick. We are sending her some paper hugs to make her feel a little better as she continues to struggle with major health issues. I've combined this challenge with Mary's color challenge colors. I was holding my phone up my Copic color chart trying to find the right olive green, but I ended up with more of a lime than olive. I try. I had these two STAMPlorations stamps that I had never used and I thought they would pair perfectly for Sharon's card. The stamps are so big that I had to just leave the rest of the card with a white background to avoid too much clutter. Polly's challenge for this Tea Party is "Dotty or Stripey" so I stamped a few stripes behind the sneakers which I think adds just the right amount of interest.

I agree -- the white space is perfect and those stripes add just the right amount of interest. Love the sentiment on this card and it seems especially appropriate paired with the sneakers for Sharon. Wonderful card.
P.S. If you need help matching COPICS with SU colors check out Kim's blog. She has done a fabulous job color matching. The link to the latest pdf is at the top of the right column. Here's the link to her blog: https://joyfulcreationswithkim.blogspot.com

Super sentiment, definitely one to remember! This is a really cute design, it would be a great one for a boy too! Those are so card to create. Great job of using this week's colors in this bold inspiring design!

Well, Jen, you sure had the perfect stamps for the tea party challenge this week! I love how wonderfully you have coloured the joggers and the stripes look just right behind them. That is a terrific sentiment, too!
