This is my card for Cindy's teapot challenge #26 - http://mothermark.blogspot.com/2008/...uesday-26.html. I LOVE that teapot, it's gorgeous. And guess what - from having no cardinal stamps, I actually ordered one from HM Stamps a few weeks ago. And something else was out of stock so there was a delay, but it arrived at the weekend. More stamps? , asked DH, but two of them were Peanuts so that was OK with him.
Anyways, a quick and simple card as my Dad is staying for Christmas. I coloured it while he was out walking his dog - till he was gone so long I was beginning to worry he really might have fallen into the canal!
Stamp is Northwoods Rubber Stamps, stamped with Versafine black onto watercolour paper and embossed with clear EP. I coloured it with H2Os, and then cut it out and layered it onto some brown Bazzill embossed with a Fiskars Texture Plate. 4 red snaps to echo the holly berries seemed to be all the embellishment it needed, so I took the brown ribbon off again. Not the best photo, but I'm so tired I can't see straight.
Thanks for the open door, Cindy. Sorry I don't have any pine-cones on my card - maybe if I have more time next week I'll do better. And those lovely rose-hips too - yours are so delightful.
