Susie is our hostess for the 600th (wow) Teapot Tuesday challenge - you can find it HERE.
No purple from me, but I did use some gingham vellum which I had pulled out for Carla's recent WTUI challenge and never used. I stitched it to the base with metallic threads which I would not do for everyone as they break so easily, but DonnaJeanne was worth it. I used an image which I had coloured last week, Inktense pencils, and some SN clear glitter pen on the little puffball flowers. I cut the big Sizizzix daisy three times from yellow mulberry tissue, and after a lot of playing around with the layout, went with this one, simply layering the tissue up, adding a microbead centre, and tucking a few leaves under.

I love the green check! Your image is adorable and you've got the big flower and bg mimicking it...you're so clever. I'm impressed by the gold stitching...I know that thread and it does break easily.

What a truly happy card this is Sabrina! This image is sooo darling and just makes me smile big. I really love how you layered this image over this large flower you made, including microbeads! I love that! The green check is gorgeous and so is your fancy gold stitching. Your persistence will truly be appreciated by DonnaJeanne because this is such a beautiful card Sabrina. ~Karen.

This looks terrific Sabrina, I love the bright punch that green brings to the gallery. You are very sweet to do all that stitching for DonnaJeanne, she will love it for sure. Try running a line of dry soap on the wrong side of the paper/fabric, that often helps with course or uneven textured thread.

I love this sunny, happy card, Sabrina. The big, fluffy flower is such a great element behind the sweet mouse image. This is sure to make Donnajeanne smile!

Adorable and nother unique creation. The difference in scale really works, making your little critters come alive in their miniature world. Also love the whimsical stitching. No happy mail for me today, but very happy you got tickled.

Sabrina, what a wonderfully cheerful card for Donna! Love that you stitched that gingham to your card! The huge flower is so cool and accents your image perfectly!
