My first teapot challenge. I loved the latitude on this challenge. Thanks Marie! A dear friend loaned me her Kitchen Sink Hydrangeas which was used for this card. The background is Spellbinders lattice die. The string is Irish linen thread fastened with an SU button.
The sentiment inside came from the internet:
My thoughts and prayers are with you
But mainly God is there.
Through all your trials and troubles,
Your pain HeÂ’ll help you bear.
HeÂ’ll keep his arms around you,
HeÂ’ll walk with you each day.
HeÂ’ll guide, protect and comfort,
HeÂ’ll show you every way.

Your coloring of the leaves and hydrangea petals is pure artistic talent! You could frame this piece. Love the accent of the lattice work and the addition of the butterfly is so perfect. Your light spattering and sponging around your image softens it adding a romantic feeling and is a brilliant touch! A fav for sure.
