 This week's Teapot Tuesday challenge is "Sing, sing a song." Sabrina, what a great challenge this is! I grew up in the state of Iowa that is known for its covered bridges and country roads so this card represents John Denver's Country Roads song. I had quite a time trying to figure out how to do a country roads song until I found this covered bridge stamp in my stash. I colored the image with alcohol markers, then challenged myself to use DSP. Just those 3 letters is enough to make me break out in a cold sweat of pure fear. Not sure why I struggle so much to use DSP, but it is a real challenge for me. This image kind of ends where it is not a good place to cut the image so that is why I added this die cut border with ribbon threaded through it to hide that awkward part. Thank you for looking today. ~Karen.

First I'm so glad you used that song. My BIL gave us his old car when we got married, and John Denver was one of the soundtracks to our honeymoon. I grew up more with classics, plus some jazz and folk: it was all new to me.

That bridge is amazing and so beautifully coloured, Karen. We don't have anything like those covered bridges over here, I think they look so interesting.
And I think the wood effect paper was a great choice for the die-cut border. The ribbon threaded through it made me think of a river. What a beautiful card for some lucky Teapotter, and a happy memories song for me to start my morning with.

What a fabulous covered bridge image. I just love this card. The ribbon treatment is awesome and your use of the two different dsp pieces, (I am breaking out in a cold sweat as I type this, lol) is gorgeous, my friend. Beautiful soothing blue and brown colors with that touch of pink!

Karen, your card is gorgeous!! I love your beautifully colored covered bridge, and the fabulous layout. The ribbon through the woodgrain pp is the perfect finish.

Wow. I think this is the best tiny detail coloring work I have seen in a long time!! I pinned this to my just to look at file. I really am very very impressed!

It is beautiful. And I like how the image comes over the edge. This is a keeper.

Perfect song! Another one of my favorites. Clever use of the covered bridge and the (wait for it) D-S-P! Great coloring and a great interpretation. Well done, Karen!
