Paint Party Friday - Tea Party for Tracey

This art greeting card is done in acrylic on textured pink cardstock (5 1/2" h x 4 1/4"w).  It was created to celebrate our own Tracey Fletcher King and we are having a virtual tea party for her at PPF today!  It's a wonderful initiative by Kristin and Eva.  Do stop by and see the tea-themed collage they have created for this special occasion!

The painting is a copy of Kay at Musing's rose.  She was experimenting with Photoshop on some roses her aunt gave her and I thought I could paint one of the effects.  Kay kindly gave me permission to paint it.  I thought the pink would be symbolic on this occasion as Tracey is fighting breast cancer.

I love this so much and the pink is perfect but even more impressive is that you drew it so beautifully. Roses are my nemesis drawing and they alway looks very odd when I do them but you have done it beautifully. Thank you for being part of this and making me feel so special. It means the world. Xx
