Here is my double challenge card for MotherMark's TeaPot Challenge...it is for both last week and this week with me using last weeks Teapot with the fruit on it and combined it with this weeks Teapot, using the colours for inspiration...and here you have it!!
I am sorry Cindy for being late for last week, it would seem that I overloaded on the Chocolate Fudge Sundays that were freely flowing from a few weeks ago and they just seemed to find me....being a diabetic, they shot my sugar levels outta this world and I have had to contemplate the fruit from last week and the veges from this week to bring my levels down enough to participate in this weeks challenge!!! Personally I think Peggy, Dawn and MariLynn kept adding extra chocolate on mine, when I wasn't looking! I am thinking you need to 'bring on the bodyguards BIG time! I will get 'my people' to speak to 'your people!' LOL!
This image is chalked and layered on both pink and black, the CS has been embossed and then a narrower layered layer in dry embossing has been added. The sentiment is from a Clear Stamps set and the oval is recycled from the scraps left over from my SU Workshop...no waste here!
Thanks for looking and you comments, they are valued!

So glad you made it! The advantage of having non-stop tea parties from week to week is that they never stop, you are never late, and you never really miss them! Hee!
Your card is wonderful and how fun that you were able to combine the two teapots! We have been on a roll with the vegetables.....sorry those other tea potters are outa control! I have no doubt those little stinkers were up to no good! Giggle!
I hope to see you again on Tuesday...that'll give you a little time to *come down!* Thanks for coming and for bringing this wonderfu, pretty card! I love the colors!!

Just beautiful Linda! This is the first image I ever stamped many years ago, maybe 16 years ago!? I told those gals at the woman's retreat I was craft illiterate and they stuck a heat gun in my hand! Mwahahahaha! That was it...

Ohh love your vintage image - or kinda vintage... love the bright colours and the black really does make it pop!! Are you sure it was the chocolate Sundaes's that popped up your sugar levels - or were you and Anne Ryan tipping back a little too much alcohol... I know the crazy drinking that you and Anne Ryan are into - tsk tsk!

Hi Linda. Sorry I missed this over the weekend. Well, if that apple isn't a nice way of finishing up after all the vegetables. Looks just like the Beauty of Bath we had in the garden growing up, with that pink blush.
