Lisa is our hostess for this week's MMTPT530 Recycled Teapot Tuesday challenge. Our party this week is for Carol, Bobbie's Girl - so recycling is certainly very appropriate.
If you'd like to send a smile to Carol, check out the challenge post linked just above. And if there is anybody you would like to be the honoree of a tea-party, our doors are always open to help celebrate, encourage, support, or simply brighten a day.
I used an old set which was on my desk waiting for an opportunity to play with. The images were stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with Inktense pencils, with the backgrounds sponged in. Little details were added with Liquid Pearls, Stickles, Enamel Accents and SN clear glitter pen.
I took a long narrow base so that I could display all my little panels, and smooshed some DOX ink onto it with a piece of acetate. This wonderful packaging came as an eco-friendly alternative to bubble-wrap with I no longer remember what, but I kept the entire sheet of it because I thought it would look great on cards. I'd like to try cutting a Christmas tree shape from it....Anyway, for this I just cut a curved strip and stuck it to my base. Added the Scripture verse, and then popped up my garden panels on foam.
