Pat is hosting this weeks Teaparty for Shelley. Shelley is fighting breast cancer and we are here to send her some teapotter paper hugs.
Have you ever read a challenge and then got it completely and utterly wrong? My brain registered "CASE", when it should have registered "SKETCH".
I case'd one of my cards from 2014, and jazzed it up a bit by using pencils on top of the distress inks and adding liquid pearls and Stickles.
DH and I are away for a few weeks, sheep farm sitting, so I'm not able to make a replacement card. I figure that what happens at a Teaparty, stays at a Teaparty, so Shelley won't know how badly I got this challenge messed up.
I'm hoping that the bright red Gumboots, courtesy of 3D crystal lacquer, put a smile on Shelley's face. Thank you for looking and I hope you are able to send some teapotter love to Shelley.

Your card is lovely! That little lady with the cute apron and red gum boots is amazing! I always love all the detail you add to your cards with the liquid pearls, Stickles, 3D crystal lacquer and distress bg. Wonderful card and I'm sure it will bring a smile to Shelley's face!

Sheep farm sitting.....now that is the first time I've heard someone do that. I imagine it's rather common in your neck of the woods. Do you know about sheep? now i don't feel so badly that i didn't use a sketch, if the great Susie Australia can make a mistake, so can I. Of course mine was intentional. Mea culpa. Your girl is as cute as can be, wonderfully colored. I'd wear those red boots.

Hahaha Susie, you are so funny! I don't think she will ever know or even care that you mixed it up...who would if they got one of your cards! I would treasure any card you sent and would never even consider what it was suppose to be! It's beautiful mate! I love the "extras" you gave her!
