Jan's Teapot challenge was a tough one for me. I'm not a lace person. But I do have this lace from the wedding dress of a teddy bear that I had when I was a kid. So I used some. The lace is over thirty years old. Who said anything about being a hoarder? I found a good tea stamp that I haven't used yet and thought I'd try out TLC61, which was "Pencil Over"--stamp an image in white and then color over it all with colored pencils. I used SC89 for my layout, but changed the order of the layers to suit my needs. After I took the picture, I realized that I forgot to go for the extra cookies by using a brad or a gem. Oops!

Wonderful take on the challenges, Jen. And thank you for your hoarding, safekeeping that bit of lace! I especially like the chalk colored pencil effect. Must give that a try.

I could have sworn I left a comment on this, because I remember looking at it and reading your write-up, and thinking how special it was with that long-hoarded lace...but I don't see a comment, how odd. I think the technique is now called Black Magic, there's aa tutoria in the Tutorials section...TLC61 was probably so long ago that it hadn't got a proper name ;-). What a great tea-party card.
