This week's Tea Party cards are thinking of you/sympathy cards going to Mark Margotta, husband of our dear Teapotter friend Karen (Art Deco Diva). Our challenge today is to be inspired by Karen's gallery. I went digging through Karen's gallery for the first card that I left a comment on to symbolize the beginning of our friendship. It took a long time to look through the comments on every card, but it was such a nice trip through her gallery. I finally found this card. And since I had commented that it was good that she let that lovely background shine, I went for a lovely background stamp and didn't add anything but rhinestones to mine. I hadn't realized how glittery Karen's cards were until this morning. I always associated florals with Karen, but not so much glitter. The card I chose to CASE was not glittery, but I embossed my stamp with glitter EP. Wow I love this elegant sympathy card that Karen inspired and I hope Mark does, too.
