This week's Tea Party is for Cori in Michigan who is dealing with breast cancer. Jacqueline is our hostess and has given us a very fun challenge called "ROYGBIV with a Twist." I chose orange (naturally) and my twist is an octopus. He's offering up a lot of hugs. I started with a piece of orange cardstock and applied orange glitter paste through a stencil. I cut and colored the octopus and layered him on top of a piece of Coral Reef calendar page. I hope this qualifies for this week's TLC Challenge. Instead of using a tissue box or envelope, I used the calendar page and a package (that was sort of an envelope) that my kid got some Pokemon cards in. It was so fabulously shiny and iridescent that I couldn't not keep it. I dissected it and stuck it to some double sided tape and stuck it to some Neenah cardstock. Then I die cut the "hugs". I did get two identical cards made today and I still have another piece of that iridescent packaging for another day!

, an orange octopus was actually my first thought, though I'm not sure I'd want to be hugged by one. Your glitter paste looks pretty cool on screen and must be totally amazing in real life.
