A Victorian Get Well

Happy Saturday, friends...and happy fall!  Yes, it's officially fall now...beautiful warm colors, crunchy leaves, cool crisp weather...don't you just love it!  The bad news is...it's supposed to rain all weekend here in my part of PA!  The good news is...it's time for another Sweet Stop sketch!  Whether it's sunny or rainy where you are, take some time to play along with us at The Sweet Stop!

Creative Nugget:  I totally rebelled in two ways with my card sample this week.  First, I did not go with a fall theme.  Second,  (gasp)... no copics!  Even though it looks black in the photo, the card base is Smoky Shadow.  My new square lattice embossing folder was used to give texture to the white layer.  This was sponged with some tea dye distress ink.  The beautiful papers are from the Victoria Gardens paper pad by Echo Park.  The shelf was stamped on the DP with  black onyx Versafine ink.  The teapot, teacup, and shelf scarf were all paper pieced.  A small rose was cut from DP and popped up as an accent.  The sentiment was adhered to the Spellbinders ribbon slide tag and tied on with some dotted Swiss ribbon.  Three black pearls in the bottom right corner finish the card.  My Sweet Stop friends have totally different sketch samples, providing you with lots of inspiration.  So hop on over to their blogs, leave some love, and then join the fun!
