Soft and serene with blues and grays. A patterned teapot sits on a lacy layer.
Today's card is for the Operation Write Home card making Design Boot Camp lesson on Composition and the Rule of Thirds. I drew a planning grid on clear card stock, with lines of Copic marker at 1-13/16" and 1-7/16". As shown below, the sentiment and teapot are on the grid lines.
- Card stock is Paper Source frost luxe (a textured light gray - discontinued), Papertrey Ink (PTI) spring rain (light blue), enchanted evening (dark blue), and the leaves print from PTI blueberry sky (medium blue) pattern pack.
- I drew lid and base lines on my teapot with Copic 0.3 cobalt multiliner. The teapot lid and base are shaded with Copic marker B45. I also used B45 to edge the teapot and add some dots.
- Technique: I wanted to stabilize and add some dimension to the top portion of my teapot. Instead of using foam tape or dots on the irregular shape, I layered it onto Craft-a-Board (can also use PTI coasters) which is less thick than foam tape, lightweight, and easy to die cut. I trimmed off the bottom, below the teapot handle, because the two layers of PTI card stock (light and dark blue) are about as thick as one layer of Craft-a-Board or coaster board. I used my Copic marker to color the edge, so the cream colored layer doesn't show.
- Dies are PTI tea for two and Memory Box charlotte border.
- Sentiment "Thinking of you" is computer-printed in blue ink with "Handwriting - Dakota" font, bold, expanded spacing.

Nicely done CIndy. What an adorable teapot die and that border die is perfect with it. I like the lace tablecloth effect it gives. Very clever idea to shade the printed paper with a marker too. It adds nice detail. Thanks for joining in the March Bootcamp.
