1. I made this card with inspiration from a wonderful picture of one of the fun teapots that Butterfly Ears owns. I decided to use it for my Tuesday Teapot Challenge today that I host on my glob. Thank you Nicole!
2. 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!
3. 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 I sent to a fellow SCSer that collects giraffes!
4. 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!

Loving your card for the rooster teapot. I think the Teapot Tuesday is a terrific idea! Hope to get time to play today even though I don't have a single rooster design except for the collage on in Provencal. This card is really outstanding!!!!!

I love how you made this card look so much like the teapot. A great idea of using the punches for the grapes. I just noticed the the top of the teapot, what a neat idea to add that to your card.

That's a picture of the teapot? Mamma Mia! (couldn't resist) It looks so real! In any event, it's a beautiful teapot and your card is a beautiful recreation of it! Love how you did the grapes and strawberries and leaves!

I love this terrific card that you've made for my teapot. I tried to make one today for your challenge, but with no luck. I have nothing that I could say related to the teapot, no strawberry stamp, no berries stamp, no red gingham and I couldn't very well make a black card. LOL
I will truly make a card for your next teapot challenge. So sorry I couldn't do this one. I feel really bad.

Oooo...I like this photo much better, it shows the 'cuddy buddy' detail. Wonderful job Cindy, love the black. It really brings out the beautiful colors on the rooster. This would look nice framed at 'Eggs R Good'.

I love the way you've presented card and teapot together. This was a fun challenge--my first teapot challenge and now I'm ready for another. Nice job with challenge and card Cindy.
