This week's Tea Party is for Julie who is battling breast cancer and has been dubbed "Wonder Woman" by her friends. I think that is just such a cool moniker for her. When I googled quotes for strength and hope, this really wonderful one from Maya Angelou popped up right away. I thought it might be perfect for Julie right now as she is going through a lot to eventually come out transformed. And, hey, it gave me a chance to do yet another butterfly card.
My first inclination was to do the background in pink, but then I remember Snietje (Anita) commenting that green was the color of Hope and then Jennifrann reminded me in her card write-up that Hope is the State motto for Rhode Island. Green is also the color of rejuvenation. So green it is.
I masked a piece of cs and ink blended DOX. Stenciled with the same color and then applied the Nuvo paste through the stencil. The glimmer paste looks really cool in real life. The antennae on this butterfly is from another Memory Box die called Willoughby Butterfly. I do like how a lot of the butterflies look without antenna, but when I do my own cards I really have trouble not adding one. LOL. I typed the quote using Luna font.
This is not a difficult card if you know what you're going to do, but this was another card journey for me. I now have several shades/patterns of green backgrounds stashed away for future projects. Thanks for stopping by. I hope your crafting is taking you on a fun journey today.

I love your "story" process and awesome results! Greens are beautiful with excellent stenciling and paste! I'm sure shimmer is beautiful as well as that perfect quote.

Beautiful shade of green for the background and what a cool look with the glimmer paste. You put so much thought in this card, and picked a great quote for Julie; she’ll appreciate it.
