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.

SCOFF...of COURSE you are an artist...your cards consistently WOW the crowd (and the Moxie Fab World I might add!)!! Your cards are all about originality and evoke such wonderful feelings! And you are the resident Queen of the Sentiments, too boot! SO GLAD you shared your talents at the party...love the 04J on the easel

Susan, you made a perfect card with this image, I wouldn't have known where to start but you nailed it with this simple scalloped border and the red postal image, it's all "just right"!
Fabulous work for both challenges!
