This week the Tea Potters are sending paper hugs and support to Heather who is undergoing chemotherapy. When I read that Heather loved dogs and spending time on her farm with family, I immediately thought of a card I had previously made for a Fan Club challenge.
That particular challenge was to create a card based on a song and I chose BINGO, hence my title. Since I already had the layout (use something old is the week's Tea Pot challenge), I pulled it out and added a small sleeping fox as a nod to the mascot for the school where Heather works. On my original card, I used red for the base, but I switched to green for Heather. Green is the color for both hope and healing and that is exactly what I wish for her. The pup is also on a wobble because wobbles make me smile and I wish that for Heather too. Just a note -- what looks like a gray smudge behind the dog's ear is a shadow because the wobble pops him up so high and I suck at photography.
I hope the wonderful cards flying to Heather will not only cheer but encourage and support as well. Chemo is not fun so happy moments (and cheerful cards) are a good thing. I hope your day is filled with happy moments too. TFL

Awesome design/colors and scene! Your coloring/shading is fabulous. The fox addition is perfectly done. Even your BG layering is superb. I loved the backstory of your healing wishes! You are awesome Debbie...

What a great farm scene....so well done. And that pup on a wobble is the best. You're going to laugh but when I first saw this it reminded me of Clifford the big red dog. Obviously it's the size not the color.

You have really covered all the bases with the dog, fox and farm! And even though this is an updated approach to a previously designed card there was still a lot of thought that went into it - from color choice to addition of the fox (who looks right at home on that farm) to the wobble mechanism. Heather is certain to treasure this.

What a delightful farm scene, put a big smile on my face. I like the sleeping fox. A couple of times I've seen wind direction indicators with foxes, and this reminded me of them. Your puppy is just adorable.
