What a fun challenge! This is my first Teapot Tuesday card, and I was able to make this for EPEC (extra points for extra cookies!).
I loved making this card with the always beautiful, Always Thankful, stamp set. The image was watercolored with an aquapainter and SU inks. The edges of the vanilla and DSP panels were lightly sponged. These were matted and then glued down. I stamped an extra set of the wheat stalks, watercolored them, cut 'em out and glued them on top of the original image to add that little extra dimension and have a couple of the wheat sprays on top of the sentiment. Lastly I added little 1/8" circle punch-outs from black cardstock to make faux brads.
Thanks for looking at my challenge card today!

WOW! What a gorgeous card - the papers are lovely, and so is the foliage in the watering can, but what I especially like is that elegant sentiment and the bg you created for it. I am putting this in my favorites and maybe one of these days I can try to recreate it.
BTW, welcome to this crazy party - I hope there were some cookies left - but I would not count on it. Those virtual cookies are the best...

Hello and Welcome, sorry I'm a little bit late to greet you - sometimes as hostess I get a little sidetracked. Your card is beautiful. I love all the designs you brought so nicely together and I love the sweet image so delicately colored. Great job. Hope to see you at another party, soon.
