I found this really cool site and they have a Teapot Tuesday challenge so I thought I would play along!! This card was inspired by the colors and butterflies of the teapot! Lots of embossing on this one to mimic the glossy look of the teapot!! Thanks for looking!

Hi stampinalex, and welcome to the teaparty! I just happened across your card in the recent uploads. Just a suggestion: I would definately edit your keywords and add "MMTPT42" so that everyone else can see your card! Cindy would be upset if she didn't get to give you a proper welcome!!
Your card is so great!! You matched the colors and the feel of the teapot perfectly!! I love the big butterfly as the focal point, with all the little ones fluttering around it. Beautiful!!

Hey guys, we have a new guest at our tea party! Welcome!
I just got a pm from Kris and she headed me in your direction. I am so glad because I would not have wanted to miss your wonderful card! I am happy you put your keywords in so your card can party with the rest of ours!
Your card is amazing! I love the *finish* on the big butterfly and the colors are perfect for the teapot! That was a hard teapot for me and I must say you ACED this challenge. Your card is creative and lovely!
Thank you so much for coming. I must warn you being a newbie to the tea parties, don't let the other tea partiers scare you off, they are a rowdy bunch! Snort!

I don't know what Cindy is talking about when she is talking about rowdy tea partiers. (I'm innocent I tell ya'!)
I am glad you joined us for the teaparty. I love how your big butterfly sparkles. I like the texture of the pink paper that you used. That green ribbon looks pretty too. Hope to see you next Tuesday.
