I have always wanted to try an Eclipse card - This is the first and will probably be my last as it took me almost 6 hours to put together . . . . and because of that let me add my apologies to whoever receives this card as I don't have time to start over now that I'm back to work full time . . . .
I downloaded and printed the plain teapot - Then masked it and stamped the hearts and flowers border across the center in Ruby Red. Colored the teapot with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. Die cut my sentiment 3 times (plain white, black and then from the card front). I layered each letter 3 times and set back into the teapot. I was down to placing the final 2 letters when OOPS - reality FINALLY dawned on me that what I created was a Scottish Taepot! After a quick study, I realized there is no easy fix for this type of card. I am totally heartsick about this . . . but crap happens and life will go on just the same. SO - I framed it with red, Using a corner adorner to punch the slots then fussy cut the frame with a deckle edged scissors, mounting the entire piece on a white card base.

Bubbles I didn't notice the spelling until you mentioned it. My eyes were drawn to POT then TICKLE, so my brain registered Teapot Tickle and I did a little woohoo in my head, and thought how clever is that Bubbles! Your card is wonderful and I would happily have it on display.

This is a fabulous teapot, especially how wonderfully you have coloured it, Linda! I have never tried the eclipse technique and have always loved how fabulous it looks! Love the framing and corners, too!

Lovely and so a unique Scotish Taepot. So much work involved and a lovely recovery from your ooops. Some one is going to love receiving this card in the mail.

This is really sweet....of course as Teapotters we all love teapots! Your "typo" just makes it more valuable....certainly in the hearts of all your SCS friends.
