The teapotters are bringing carts full of flowers to the tea party today, and I figure eventually those flowers will start wilting and need a little water, so I brought the watering can. (Please hand me another cookie for thinking ahead!)
Cindy has a worthy destination for this challenge (see here: MMTPT182 ~ GEE, DAT'S BETTER! MUDDAH, FADDUH, KINDLY DISREGARD THIS LETTER! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers) but my SIL's birthday is Thursday, so I used the teapot theme as the inspiration for this card.
I'm sure many of you recognize that ancient SU stamp. It felt good to give it a little new life.

Sandy, a very clever idea!! We will surely need watering cans in that Arizonia heat!! Extra cookies are in order for you!!

Extra cookies to you for thinking of the watering can! What a pretty card in color and layout! Not only is the watering can of flowers sweet, but the pretty dp and the lace add to the sweetness!
