I made this card for this week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. Lisa (Shoe Girl) is our hostess this week and she chose "we are seeing spots" as the theme for this week. Fun! I immediately thought of the SU Work of Art stamp set to use. I colored this freebie craft magazine bloom in with copic markers when I was in the hospital with my mother recently. I stamped the chevrons and the dots, then I die cut several leaves out and that just did not work at all. I finally remembered these leaves from the Altenew Beautiful Day set so I triple stamped and fussy cut them out and they were just what I wanted. I fussy cut the bloom out too. I took copic marker G21 to color a strip of white glitter cardstock so it would closely match the pistachio pudding ink I used. The white panel is mounted on 3M foam tape. Thanks for looking today! ~Karen.
