Today's Colors: Terracotta Tile, Soft Suede, Flirty Flamingo. Teapot Challenge: Photo Corners. I don't normally play in this challenge, but I do send out cards to the guests quite often.
A couple weeks back I found an amazing assortment of SU goodies for a great price at a yard sale. In the boxes were a photo corner punch and this stamp set. Yay for me!
I started by stamping the vase, masked it and used markers for the flowers and stems then stamped. Distressed the main panel and added some twine to the flowers & popped it up. I sponged around the dp, corners & embossed panel. Thanks for stopping by! ~Roberta

Marvelous yard sale finds, Roberta! So fun to use all of them in one creation. Love the Thoreau verse as a vase and you've used the perfect combination of patterns, both textured and print. Thanks for helping lift up LeAnna, Abby and Aric.

Beautiful card. And a peaceful card. That sentiment adds to that sense of peace, I think. Love all the elements, but especially the distressed edging on the main panel. Lucky find...or maybe it was meant to be, like Linda said...Karma.

The vase sentiment is just so perfect for this family! How wonderful that you found a photo corner punch at just the right time!!

Cool sentiment in the vase, I'd never actually read it before. Great finds - I still use my photo corner punch regularly. While I left them plain this week, they're fab embossed and sponged, too.
