Happy Valentine's Day to you! I made this card for this week's Teapot Challenge. Anita is our hostess this week and she picked a challenge that delighted this tea lover's heart. This week, our cards are going to Linda so she can build up her stash of cards to send to all the people she sends cards too. I did not think I had any tea stamps because all my friends are coffee drinkers. I have been going through my stamp room and cleaning/organizing it, when I found this 22-year-old PSX stamp I forgot I even had. When I first got this stamp I made dozens of cards with it so I felt I could not use this stamp again because everyone I knew had gotten a card with it. However, it is perfect for this week's challenge. I made 6 cards for Linda so she will get 2 each of the blue, pink and purple versions. I had a blast making these cards and even made one for myself in blue. Thank you for this wonderful challenge this week Anita, and thank you for looking today. ~Karen.

What a lovely set of cards, Karen! Love the monochromatic themes! Linda will certainly enjoy them! I think I have some PSX stamps that are that old...but they never get old, really, do they? :-)

Oh, you're a doll to make a whole set of six for Linda, and aren't they fab. I had to laugh at your comment on not being able to use that stamp for ages. I felt the same the one year I mass-produced 48 Christmas cards. I really like your use of coloured inks for stamping, that's something I almost never think of.
