1. I made this card with inspiration from one of my favorite teapots for a challenge I am hosting on my blog called Teapot Tuesday! You can see the card and my teapot in my next picture.
2. This teapot is one of my favorites. When I picked this teapot, I thought it would be easy to do but I spent more time on this card than alot of the others. I don't know how to make those paper rose thingys so I just started folding, wrinkling, smooshing, distressing, and dinking around with SU cardstock and this is where I ended up. I probably won't make another because I still don't know how to make those paper rose thingys!that my friend uh!
3. I figured since we can't all get together in person and have tea in the mid-morning, we might as well make cards together!
4. I have a thing for teapots and as a result have a collection of some really cool ones. This idea started when I made a card for an inspiration challenge where we were to pick something in our house to fashion a card after and of course I picked a teapot. It was a giraffe teapot and the card I made a card I sent it to a fellow SCSer that collects giraffes!
5. I plan on posting a teapot on my blog every Tuesday and making a card inspired by that teapot. There are no rules, no requirements, no deadlines just take a look at the teapot and join me in the fun!
