Today for the teapotter party we were to bring strawberries.............oh no, what to do.....I have NOTHING with strawberries. So I page through my stamps and low & behold, here is this very old SU set that has a little basket of strawberries, and a few flowers too. This set has never seen ink until today. My large daffodil mat is embossed with the swiss dots folder. Used a piece of Polka Dot Parade DP for my horizontal strip. Added some ribbon loops and buttons and popped up my image and I'm done. Now this little card is off to Texas!! Thanks for looking everyone.

That is an old SU set and YAY it finally got some ink on it! Your card is adorable! Aren't we tea potters a resourceful group?! Quite often I find myself having to improvise!

I just love that when you get to use a stamp for the first time. Let's face it we wouldn't have bought the thing if we didn't love it and then to not use it........! It looks so beautiful I bet you use it a lot more in the future.
