My card for this week's Teapot Tuesdays challenge--to Use Only 3 things on our card for the recipient, who used to travel in an RV with her husband.
I packed a little heavy for the trip in the RV! I left out one pair of shoes, and included extra stamping supplies! I used:
--patterned paper
--a die-cut
--stamps
--ink (!)
--colored pencils
I really, really had to restrain myself from adding embellies to this card! Just a couple of enamel dots....please?? :-) TFL!

Wow, you took the three so literally. I reckoned that a stamp set gave me more than one, and likewise I had a pad of DP. My extra was a background stamp for the French. But honestly...who wouldn't have at least one background stamp in their arsenal. I love your paper and it makes a sweet setting for your station wagon.

This is darling! I love the small patterns you have on this. I had a hard time with the only three challenge, too...I did count my stamp "set" as one...;)

I'm smiling about your write up, of course you can add enamel dots, but I think it isn't necessary I like it just as it is!! Thank you for playing my challenge!!

A very cute and cheerful card. I don’t know if I could have left that pair of shoes at home. I would have convinced myself the shoes won’t take up much room and I will need those comfy shoes. I always pack more than I need, just Incase. 😁

This is just delightful Liz! I love how you left a pair of shoes at home to make room for other items. This trip feels like a "back roads" kind of trip which is the kind I love the best on small roads and no interstates! I know Dorothy will love this wonderful card you made just for her. ~Karen.

Thank you for this lovely card - a great look without dots, but they would also have been a pretty addition! I probably would have packed those shoes - maybe even a couple of extra pair - I have such a hard time finding some that are comfy! It has been so much fun seeing how everyone is meeting this challenge!
