Tea Pot Party card for a friend

. 

Some of you may have seen previous posts about the Tea Pot Tuesday challenge at SplitCoastStampers.  This is a challenge open to any one (to post in the gallery, you must join the SCS site, but that is easy to do).  Each week there is a theme and destination posted - usually, some one in need of support and cheer.  This week is the 500th challenge - what a milestone!  In honor of the occasion we are to select some one we know to receive our cards, and the theme is transportation.  Well, I stretched the theme a bit - this is such a great Scripture, and I just borrowed this stamp, so I had to use them.  I will send the card to friends from church who moved to another city.

Here is another card to send to our granddaughter at the Air Force Academy.  I am making cards to send to her so she can, in turn, send them on to her friends.  (More info in the previous post).  This time I am using clip art - which I sponged with chalk for a bit of a vintage look.  I also used  Steampunk EF, by Darice.  The white back of the Paper Studio DP shows through - I had not anticipated this but I like the effect.  I used bits of the You folder (Cuttlebug) for the brown strip.  subtle chalking with different browns add to the grungy look - though it does not show much here.  I had a bit of patriotic ribbon, and a piece of plastic (shelf liner, maybe...) as well as a bit of frizzy stuff for a bow.  It is actually from a package of doll hair.  (Can you tell I am trying to use up some odds and ends? )
