This week our cards are headed off to Denise in San Antonio, Texas. Denise has had some major medical issues that she has been dealing with, and are getting her down. So the Teapotters are headed her way with some cheer, good wishes and loads of flowers.
It is said that Denise loves tulips and roses. I went with tulips. This is a beautiful image, that I colored using the whitewash technique, though I used Tsukineko Brilliance inks along with Color Box inks instead of using markers.
Luckily the borders were already die cut, so there wasn't too much that had to be done for this card. Hope is stamped on the purple panel, hope for Denise, that everything turns out well for her.
I so hope that the medical situation for Denise works out well. She is in my thoughts and prayers.

It is a beautiful image. I really like the way the little posy is tied with a ribbon. It looks so dramatic framed with the deep purple and black, and the message of hope is spot on!

Jennifer, a beautiful and dramatic card with your lovely tulips on the black bg. Love the "homey" touch of gingham and the pretty lacy edges against the purple.
