I can't believe I did a color challenge; for some odd reason, this is always hard for me (that's why it's a challenge, Jean). And I colored too. Stop the presses! Last week I was gifted with a whole set of Jan's (Precious Kitty) stamp line. 8 stamp sets, I think. Wow. I'm so impressed. The teapot challenge was to create a humorous card for Leann who broke a bone and is very restricted. I thought, 'well if this doesn't make her laugh (wryly), I don't know what will.' Made me laugh when I read it for the first time. And I never pass up dessert (stenciling).
I don't throw very well but I will start practicing. Go Brewers!

Fantastic the way you gave the tree a shadow, that looks super. And yes, that sentiment made me laugh the first time I saw it, too. It's always fun to use something received in a tickle for another teapot card, I think. Love your different stencils.
Colour challenges are one of the ones that just freeze me in my tracks - so I take my hat off to you for trying one since it sounds as if they're outside your comfort zone too.

Yay for you! Jan's stamps are fantastic and you have used them in such a wonderful, creative way too! I love how the stenciled sunshine is peeking through this gorgeous apple tree! What a terrific card this is for Leann. ~Karen.
