Thanks to Denise (card crazy), our guest hostess for the March TeaPotter Swap. We were asked to show how the 'grass' can absolutely be greener on our side of the fence. Sabrina, the photo prompts were especially on pointe this month. That beautiful clay teapot and lawnmower...made me smile.
I pondered and slept on it and finally realized my friends have truly been the richest blessing to me. I love that I've had friends through many seasons of my life, some for a brief time and some along for the marathon. Some who have poured out of their strengths for me and some who have needed me to be the strong one.
I used Technique Junkies 'Tamashii Modern Frame' as my base. It was inked with the Rich Cocoa on the branches and with 'Dazzle' on the leaves. I used the Ranger 'Lemon Drop' Speckle ep.. Fussy cut the dragonflies and use Wink of Stella on the wings. I added a snippet of seam binding at the bottom corner. Emily's quote was stamped in between the branches with VersaFine 'Clair Twilight'.
This card also fits with the F4A580 Heat Embossing. Angie is our hostess. I love embossing powder...and with the new mixed media and chunky choices, I am one happy camper!
Thanks for stopping by, I would love to hear your thoughts on Dickerson's quote.

Oh, how beautiful! I love how your EP sparkles! The color choices are beautiful together! A wonderful card. That is an interesting quote and I liked reading about your friends. It's true that some friends are only there for a season. I worry over those, that seem to have only been there for a season but they are always in my heart!

Beautiful card. Love your gold leaves and branches. I am an embossing junkie. I think it is a bit magical and helps me stay within the lines when I’m colouring.

Your card is magical. The quote is inspirational and, to my way of thinking, very true. And, your write-up would get an A+ if you submitted it to your philosophy teacher. I love everything you said and how you expressed it. So much beauty here -- in the card and in the words. TFS.
