My first teapot challenge. I loved the latitude on this challenge. Thanks Marie! A dear friend loaned me her Kitchen Sink Hydrangeas which was used for this card. The background is Spellbinders lattice die. The string is Irish linen thread fastened with an SU button.
The sentiment inside came from the internet:
My thoughts and prayers are with you
But mainly God is there.
Through all your trials and troubles,
Your pain HeÂ’ll help you bear.
HeÂ’ll keep his arms around you,
HeÂ’ll walk with you each day.
HeÂ’ll guide, protect and comfort,
HeÂ’ll show you every way.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!! We just LOVE new Teapotters!!! I am so glad that you came today for Linda, and boy did you bring it! I love Kitchen Sink stamps, but can't get them to look as lovely as you did here. Beautiful technique and scene, lovely clean layout with your jute detail. Your sentiment earned you extra duckie cookies...just make sure to duck if you see someone starting to fling a pot at Sherman Potter! Hope to see you back here soon...Big Hugz from NJ.

First of all, WELCOME! You brought a beautiful card. I love hydrangeas too, they're framed beautifully against the lattice bg and I love the button embellishment you added. Wonderful card for Linda.

Nancy, welcome to the tea party!!!
You sure came in with a bang up beautiful card too - love that lattice die you used for your BG and it REALLY makes your KSS hydrangeas pop! (excellent stamping of all those layers too!) What a comforting verse you found!! Great card!
