I'm late to the tea party this week. I went away for a long weekend to visit my nephew and really missed my craft room. So today I'm combining Teapot Tuesday with Watercolor Wednesday. I may have gotten a little carried away with this card. I decided to use washi tape for Polly's challenge and embellish with my salted background die cut flowers and leaves. I've never had luck with the salted backgrounds and I don't have coarse salt. But today I tried with coldpress paper and Colorburst powders. I figured even if I didn't get a good result from the salt at least I could get some cool variation from the powders. But it worked! Then I just kept on embellishing with Stickles, Wink of Stella, and Nuvo drops. I hope Robin likes it and it cheers her up a bit.

Jen, this is fantastic looking. So much interest on this with the salted colorburst flowers. Your washi tape background is just amazing looking. That sweet girl just puts a smile on my face and I am sure it will for Robin too. Wonderful card!

Love this card and I am sure Robin will too. Your tape background is so fun and festive and a perfect backdrop for that adorable girl. And you didn't get carried away...every element, flowers, tape, drops, your coloring, just add to the overall fun and cuteness. Fab card.
