For today's Tea Party we are sending bright and colorful flowers to Waltraud - the mother of Elke (tropicalsmiles). She is in the hospital recovering from a series of small strokes. Jacqueline has challenged us to make some very colorful backgrounds for some colorful flower cards. I grabbed this pretty bouquet of flowers from my collection of images that my friend had stamped for me. Then I dug through my background drawer for the brightest backgrounds I had. I found two really great ones. This one was made with a brayer, Kaleidacolor ink and the SU Spiral Dye stamp. There is a kind of a seam underneath the sentiment, that's why the sentiment is as big as it is and in the place that it is. I'm not saying that it looks out of place. I actually quite like it there. I'm just explaining my process. I fussy cut the flowers and colored them to match the background. I feel like I always just grab a piece of white paper and stamp my sentiment in black and that would have looked fine here, but I stepped out of my usual routine here with a scrap of blue paper and a heat embossed sentiment. And I didn't even use white EP--it's pastel yellow. Whoa. Who am I?
