All that is here is a camouflage room with a big teapot lamp - confused???? Me too, when I read this challenge - was not sure if we were talking REAL camouflage or faux - I went with the REAL STUFF - read more about the challenge HERE to make sense of the Tea Potters party today!!
I used a base of Brown with a layer of camo wallpaper for the 'room' - added some light hardwood flooring, some woodsy pictures to the wall, got a custom made camouflage couch made and this big ol' brown teapot disguised as a "lamp" to set alongside. Makes it nice and cozy-like, don't ya think?
Our cards are going to Katy, who loves camouflage and the military and is facing some serious health issues - I went with the military camo, and the card took quite a humorous turn, but I figure she can use a chuckle - going to add on the front - "Bear??? - WHAT BEAR??? I don't see no bear!!!!" Added a heart - for EPEC!!
Hope she likes the humorous card I came up with - thanks for looking!!

This is perfect! Love the scene with the camouflage background. I don't see the bear either, but I love the darling lamp in the lower right-hand corner (my right). Very creative!

This is not my comment:
Therapist.....Now JT, don't get me wrong! The mere fact that you are here is a wonderful thing! And you did really good by turning a bad situation into a good thing for Mallorie.....you let her have her tea......but you have got to get a handle on your obsession with hunting! There is more to life...like social events, such a teaparties!
JT: Excuse me.....when did you move your office into the wilderness.....excuse me......there is a bear under your lamp shade......He is watching me.....he is teasing me.....he thinks I have no ability to succeed....he thinks my aim is off!
Therapist: Bear? What bear? JT! You just stay there on the couch, close your eyes, take a deep breath! This nonsense has to stop! Do it for Mallorie!!!

Sue, this is so fun. Love your humor in the card and in your post description. This could have been your card in the infamous furniture challenge that is still going on after ___ months - LOL! Great job on the couch and the bear! Darling card. I went with military camo too - how fun is that! Hugz.
