I made this card for this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Jen is our hostess this week and she chose the fun theme of "Get Your Cray-on." I loved that! There was just one problem- I have zero crayons in my house. I considered not playing this week, but the recipient is so deserving, how could I not play. When I woke up this morning, I remembered that I had gelato's somewhere in my craft room. I took an A2 card top and covered it with a rainbow of gelato colors, then I smoothed the color out with a baby wipe. I die cut the thank you from this rainbow colored card, then added clear wink of stella over the top to add some shimmer and shine. I decided to use an octagon shape on this card to represent the stop sign on a school bus, since the recipient is a school bus driver. This sentiment is from a stamp set that I have had at least 20 years now, but it says exactly what I was thinking when I read the story of Curtis. Wow! Thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

Karen I'm so glad you finally found a substitute to play in this challenge for Curtis and I love what you've made for him, great rainbow thank you and the "you inspire me" is really what he does!! If there were more of these men and women who think first about their neighbor before they think about themselves the world would be more peaceful than now!!

I spotted this in the gallery last night but wanted to wait till I had the computer on to leave a comment. It's beautiful - a clean, elegant design. I love the softness that babywipes add to gelatos. What a wonderful sentiment to send to Curtis.
