Well, Sallie...your hobbydujour gallery is full of wonderful creations. I must have gone through each page 3 times before I decided upon your Hepplewhite heartback chair. It seemed the perfect one to case as I have this Green Pepper Press. I also picked this card for it's clever sentiment. Thought I would slip this card into the WT288 Ransom Style challenge also.
I kept your chair and used the sentiment.
I changed the colors and the layout.
I just had to carve the very famous George Hepplewhite heartback chair circa 1790, image from the white cs it was stamped on. Can you see the shadows through the chair? I used Tim Holtz's Aged Mahogany DI and embossed in clear. My papers are Memory Box grove and Basic Grey. The assorted fonts are from Purple Onion Designs.
I enjoyed scrolling through your lovely gallery, it is full of creative energy. I hope your week in the spotlight is filled with excitement and all the best.
Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. Have a lovely first Sunday in fall, all!

Susan, what a spectacular card! I can't believe you cut that chair out!!! (I'm assuming you meant "carve" and not "crave", right?) Your colors are gorgeous and the sentiment is so much more clever than mine. LOVE IT!!
Thanks too, for letting me know who created these chair stamps. My are unmounted and I had no idea. I plan on editing the cards I have made with them. Thanks so much for making my day special by creating this card! Sallie
