This week our teapotter cards are going to Faith - yabbadodo's husband, Harry, who is about to have some back surgery. To see the story, go HERE We are sending him cards to get him through the surgery with our thoughts and prayers and also to cheer him up during his recovery.
Let me tell you why I am so late - do you have ANY idea how long it takes to grow enough grass to make a card with Harry's fishing cabin, out in the woods and surrounded by the lake and all that GRASS! I tell you - I think I just broke the record for how long it takes to make a card!! (BUT I AM SO TICKLED HOW GREAT IT TURNED OUT)
I am not a great photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but this turned out better than I expected! You know how it is - when you have the idea in your head and it doesn't look so good IRL!
I also combined this card with the F4A261 to use a SCS tutorial - I used the SIDE STEP CARD
Just followed Beate's great tutorial -Of course, All SCS tutorials are great -
I used a stencil for the trees in the BG with a little bit of "sunrise" sponging, cut out the DP for the cabin, embossed the roof , and then , MADE GRASS for the next 4 hours!!! JK! After I planted all that grass, I decided to name Harry's cabin, and put up a sign to show him where the lake was too. I love it when a plan comes together like this, but I can't believe I stayed up till 2:30 AM to post it - yes, I love it THAT MUCH, and can't wait to send it off to Harry!
Thanks for looking, and for putting up with me always coming late. I do appreciate your thoughts!

Wow, Sue, you've created a step card worthy of Susie - I nearly typed Susie at the start of my comment, LOL. I bet your tickled at how well it turned out - and Harry will be to receive it too. There are so many lovely details - I love the way you've included a glimpse of the water, and the sky behind the trees is beautiful. I'm still really enjoying my tickle card - the sky in it is like a dose of sunshine on some of these grey dark days.
