Here is my card for Teapot Tuesday. Our challenge was to make a card for a teacher or student as they head back to class. This is take # 5. Too many partial stamps altered to fit the scene. The desk, for example, is actually a plant stand with very short legs, a lovely heart front and centre and 3 topiaries on top. A bit of masking and lots of altering went into this card. This will go to my brother-in-law who is a teacher/vice principal and who just happens to have a birthday this week. Of course, in addition to the birthday wishes, I'll be sure to wish him a great school year. Enjoy!

Oh, I just love it when something is used in a different way than originally intended. And when it's stamping, well, I'm over the moon! Out of the box stamping to the creative nth degree, Vicky! And personalized, no less! Another design trait that I adore. I have a sentiment that reads, "Art is having the vision to see what others do not." What a fun gift of labor and love for your brother-in-law.
Wow! All the work that went into this is impressive! What a wonderful card for your BIL! I wish him good luck and happy birthday this year! I just love the blackboard, it's so clever!

Vicky - you did a fabulous job of masking and tweaking - I thought you just had an awesome Stamp that5 fit the theme to a T. Pat yourself on the back for a super creation.

Well, it was a lot of work, but definitely worth it! This is a great teacher card! It has a vintage feel, but then again there are many schools that still have vintage furniture. I hope your BIL has a great birthday and a great school year!
