Jen is our hostess for the Teapot Tuesday challenge this week, which you will find HERE.
Penny Black: You're the Bestest, stamped on Bristol and coloured with Polychromos pencils. I added some SN clear glitter pen on the flowers. Normally they are white and yellow daffodils and narcissi and jonquils, but I used purples to score the cool colours, and also used the cold greys to colour the kitty.The background is nail polish marbling, and was just the right colours. I added an MFT Dizzy Border cut from one of my tomato paste tubes. Normally I like to poke all the little chads out, but for once I decided that it looked OK with some of them left in. I wrapped it round the background piece, and then added some frayed cheesecloth before sticking the image panel on. I punched and shaped a couple of faux brads. I always enjoy using this stamp; it was one of my early purchases, and my colouring has come on no end since the first cards I made with it.Â

Oh wow Sabrina, this super sweet Penny Black kitty holding all these flowers is just as darling as darling can be. I love all the flowers on the ground too- so cute! I am not sure how you cut the gold piece from a tomato paste tube, but it sure looks amazing on your nail polish background. This is a real wow background and draws the eye right to this fabulous image panel. I love the cheesecloth too! I know this will bring a huge smile to Jean's face when she receives it Sabrina. ~Karen.
