My card today will be going to a very special, sweet gal who just had knee surgery. The teapotters are sending cards to Carlene this week. The theme was the Antique Roadshow. Procrastinator would describe me....need to change that bad habit. Now when making a card....start with the envelope. Address it and put the stamp on. Continue to make card. Using a dig colored with copics and colored pencils. Wanted it to look old and weathered...embossed the die...reminds me of the tin tiles that adorned so many ceilings from days gone by. Taking my finger and gray chalk rubbed in on the die. Added score lines along with a border line around the card using a dk grey copic. Decorated the envelope to match. Lisa's challenge is to add a bug.....the snail will be my bug. TFL

Just gorgeous, Linda. I am having a hard time finding an adequate superlative to attach to this as it deserves a lot more than a super or wow, but darned if I can think of any, so wow! Thanks for coming to tea.

This is just beautiful...stunning. Your daffodils and periwinkle are wonderfully colored and realistic, and I love the corner lacy dies and scored side lines...this look like an acrylic or vellum overlay. I'm so looking forward to seeing this in RIL!
Update after receipt:
So clever how you imprinted the die over the pansy and oval and distressed lightly with gray...not vellum, but very clever application! This card and the coloring are absolutely stunning in RIL...thank you for thinking of me and allowing me to add this to my get well gallery!
