well maybe that's not quite true, but not like our Mut with paints, or Sallie with the brayer, or Anne with the big bows...or even the Mudder with the wonderfully dimensional cards...and yet I fully espouse the mail art sentiment that 'ART is not a thing, but a WAY. And so I've arrived at the Teaparty being a cheater (oh, horrors, I confess, I did use rubber in the creation of this work!)
It's been way toooo long since I've been able to attend a teaparty...but I simply couldn't resist this blank canvas theme. I am embracing the white space and the CC302. Joanne's got us with Black, White and Red (amazing it had not been used before). Thanks Joanne for the eye pleasing color combo.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by...and come visit me One4Joy daily I'd love to know what you think of the digital nativity.

Holy cow, Susan, when I think 'artist' I always include your name. I love this image and the white space. The sentiment, which is perfect by the way, just makes me think 'Susanism' and gives the image a different perspective - egads, I might be rambling here.

What a BRILLIANT image to use for this challenge! It looks all "pen and ink"-y by going it with the black on white with no color but your mail art sentiment. Awesome!

I love your card Susan!! You are an artist, and the way you see things and portray things in your work shows it. I always like to see your unique cards. You don't conform to someone else's ideas. I love that about you. Have a very Merry Christmas and a creative and healthy new year!! :>)
