Here's my card for Teapot Tuesday - to bring lots of flowers - preferably in a flower cart (see all the details here
Well - you need to use your imagination for my cart - I have the scalloped awning - and the fence COULD be the sides of the cart - and I've added two little strips of wood grain patterned paper to give the SUGGESTION of wood! I did bring the flowers!
Our cards (if we choose) are going to Betty who has terminal lung cancer - she loves flowers and sunshine and has a strong faith - we hope our cards will give her a little more of all this.
I stamped a Bible Verse inside 1 Peter 5:7
I used the colors that Karen has given us for this week's color challenge and I used two embossing folders - a Swiss dots on the awning and tucked behind the fence is an embossed strip of stems and flowers (you could see it clearly until my design took a turn and I added the punched fence!)
The flowers on the fence are an SU punch that I curled a bit and drew lines with a black micron pen to match the lines on the floral image I used from Rubbernecker
Accessories: Rhinstones - Kaiser, foam tape, large scallope die - PTI, Copics - YR09, YG95, Y38, E35, BG10, Fence Punch - Martha Stewart , Just my Type embossing strips - dots and floral

What a lovely card! your awning and fence are great, and I especially like the cheery, vibrant flowers. We are well on the way to 42,000! Oh yes, I like the hint of a cart - that wood grain works well. Betty will so enjoy all this encouragement.
