Today's Tea Party is for Mary, who was recently diagnosed with her second breast cancer after her first 16 years ago. She has finished chemo and has just had proactive preventative surgery. Mary loves plants, especially succulents, so I've attached a hanging planter with some. I used today's Color Challenge palette because I thought they would make it cheerful. I stamped the image and then masked it to add the brocade BG in Daffodial Delight and colored with blending pens and colored pencils. The Daffodil Delight beam served two purposes; one to give the planter something to hang from, but also to cover a smudge!

Beautifully designed .... your masking is done so well. That hanging succulent will put a big smile on Mary's face!

It might be covering a smudge, but it looks like it belongs there! I seem to be smudging more as I get older. Sometimes I can't figure out how the smudge even got there! Lol. Thank you for making this beautiful card for my dear friend.

What a pretty card this is, Faith! Beautifully created! The woman looking out the window pondering life says a lot. Nice save with the smudge mark. I love this bg stamp, which I still have~

The lace stamped bg is pretty with the image and hanging plant! Nice combined challenge card.
