Check out the TPT challenge thread for Maureen's great rose teapot and story.
Country and Western - not quite my style of music though I am very happy to listen to Johnny Cash.
I brought a rose, a functional card and a quote from Michael W Smith's song *Above All*. The chorus is what I used on my card:
Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone.
Like a rose, trampled on the ground,
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all.
This is going to a friend in church - her husband had major heart surgery about 3 weeks ago, and he's been having a lot of trouble with low blood pressure and a racing heart-rate since. It's already done damage to his heart, so it's a difficult time for them.
5 3/4" base, covered with green Bazzill. Next layer is KI Memories Pop Culture, with some Stickles on some of the flowers. Main layer is Roses in Winter, cut outside the box using last week's TLC. I stamped the flower and leaves on some Little Sizzles paper from the Classics pad, and stamped the rose three more times. Cut, distressed the edges, curled up a bit, added Stickles and layered with foam.
The quote was printed (with a LOT of problems) on the computer and cut with Blossoms 1. Sponged the edges, stippled it a bit, added little gems and popped it up on foam along with the image panel.
