Today's Teapot challenge inspiration was a wonderful castle teapot.
I was inspired by the castle walls and made this card using a fun mosac tile stamp from Starving Artists that I've had for ages but never inked up yet.(I say that about so many stamps!LOL!)
You ink the stamp with Versamark - then over stamp it in a color using a flower stamp (or whatever) then stamp it on card stock - and then clear emboss it. I love how it came out!
The window and sentiment are also from Starving Artist Stamps/Doodle Factory.
Hopefully this pretty wall will be inviting to people who walk by and they'll stop in for Rapunzle to cut their hair - ya think??
This also fits the Doubledog Dare challenge this week where jdmommy (Anne) challenged us to use some kind of frame on our card. I used a window frame!
OmGosh, who wouldn't want to go behind such a beautiful wall for tea, and maybe even some gossip.... although I'm not so sure about the haircute, lol! BEAUTIFULLY done, TFS!!

Cool - love the window laid over the mosaic. So it's sort of like the kissing technique, from the sound, with the added embossing to look like tiles? Love the colour you chose, it reminds me of old tiles my mother had.
