I looked at the teapot and I pulled out my puzzle piece die, and also an old mini puzzle I have been saving to use the bits on a card. But I didn't find inspiration in either, so I went for a bay window card - Bay Window Card Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers - which has lots of bits for Sharon to assemble. I wish I'd remembered first that some of the measurements in the written tutorial are wrong - as soon as I had trouble assembling it a faint bell rang in the back of my memory.
I had planned a more traditional flower arrangement in keeping with the vintage DP, but it was too big for the panel so I went with this stylised vase from Unity. If Sharon loved to bling her kit one ( I've sent the bits for her to make up another card. At least all her pieces ARE cut to the right size) up with gems, they look good on it; for ease of mailing I just used gold and clear glitter brushes. I added a Scripture verse on the inside.

Sabrina, this is a beautiful special fold card. I love how it displays so much of that gorgeous paper. That vase of 'fun' flowers is such a happy image, especially with the sparkles. I love it, and Sharon will too.

Sharon will be so happy to receive your mail and she is going to be so anxious to get back to creating when all these wonderful kits arrive at her house. She will love this along with the scripture inside.

Wonderful card -- that fold is so fun and interesting. Your dp is gorgeous but those whimsical flowers work beautifully with it so great "punt" on your part. Love the soft colors and especially the bits of silver glitter paper showing around the framing. Super card, Sabrina.

This is so cool! I made a similar card years ago but it really didn't have space to write anything as it had no backer. I just watched the tutorial and will have to give this one a try.
