I made this card for this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Pat is our hostess and she has a fun challenge called, "Cheer For The Queen Mother" in honor of Jennifer McGuire's Mother-in-Law.
Pat asked us to make a card using a sketch of our choice and I chose sketch SC648 for this card. To be honest, once I got in my craft room and got busy, I found that I strayed a bit from the sketch, but it did provide the guideline I needed to make this card.
The rose is stamped in 3 layers, but I only used 2 colors of ink. The darkest layer I stamped 4 times using the same color ink in order to intensify the color. I very lightly sponged It's A Boy ink onto the embossed pattern using a finger dauber sponge. I thought these embossed roses reminded me of a china painted teapot. I really enjoyed making this card today using colors I rarely if ever put together, but are colors the recipient prefers. It is always nice when I use colors that I would not normally use, then find I like them too. I wish Judy all the best as she journey's down this difficult road in life. Thank you for the great challenge Pat and thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

What a great way to show off the beautiful embossed and sponged panel by framing it. It reminded me of one of my mother's teapots. Your blue roses are beautiful. What a lovely monochromatic card.

Love, love where your creativity took you using the sketch challenge you chose. This is so gorgeous, Karen. I love the delicate blooms on your ef. contrasting with the beautiful big rose and stems. Wonderful card, and the blue and white is really pretty.
