I don't often do teapot challenges because I can't come up with ideas quickly enough to get a card made and mailed. But when I saw that this week's challenge was for fellow SCS crafter Chatterbox-1 aka Carlene, I needed to rise to the occasion. I was sadden to hear of her passing. Although I didn't know her personally, she was often commented on my cards. And I always got a kick out of how many challenges she could attach to her cards.
I used the following challenges for her card:
WT322 - Heavy Metal - I used metallic thread
CC926 - grape , blue, green
F4A667 - Stencil
F4A661 - Dies
WT914 - Layers
I used the Altenew tall foliage set which comes with stamps, stencils and dies. It's a beautiful set.
I embossed the BG mat, added purple metallic thread and gems for the CC. The sympathy sentiment is inside the card as this was already pretty busy. I will mail this to Carlene's husband this week. TFL

Well, you rose to this occasion beautifully, Claudette. Love the deep blue for your bg panel and the blooms spanning the entire length of the card is gorgeous. I am sure Carlene's family will appreciate this. Wonderful card.

Such a lovely card, those flowers are beautiful. And I'm impressed that you worked in 5 challenges! Carlene would be proud, I'm sure!
