Hello again, everyone: Yesterday I shared for the first time on THIS POST my own experiences with discrimination as a woman born and raised in Mexico City.
What's happening now is a reaction to all the injustices of the past and, unless we ALL pull together to seriously try to solve these problems, I honestly think we as a Country, will be consumed in a sea of discontent and pain.

I often browse Pinterest for inspiration for my cards as well as recipes, pictures, etc. Sometimes, a handmade card catches my eye and, if I'm lucky enough that the person who made that card left information about it, I go to that post, find what stamp sets were used to create it and then, go on a hunt until I find it, usually eBay and Etsy.
This sweet row of teapots is from a 2004 Stampin' Up! stamp set called "Best Borders", and let me tell you, the other 3 images are just as adorable as this one.
The year this set was available was about 4 years before I started stamping, otherwise I would have bought it on the spot!!!!
I stamped the image with Stazon black ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils, the lace border is from Martha Stewart.
The sentiment is from a retired SU set called "Tea Together".
The rubber part on each row is just about 5 3/4" so, if you want to mail them, you will need to make a special envelope, which is not a problem if you have an envelope maker.

The border is from a retired SU set called "Delicate Details" (2017), the sentiment is from a Flourishes set called "Grab a Cup" (2013) and the stalk of teacups are from another retired SU set called "Morning Cup"(2010-2011).
