I knew, as soon as I saw her teapot image, that I wanted to use this stamp from Art Neko, and what more cosy background than to revisit TLC479 for a quilted pillow-top background (not the first time I've paired these two together) - TLC479 ~ Pillow Top Background {04/28/2014} by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers.
Image stamped on white card, coloured with Polychromos pencils, used out-of-the-box cutting for his little night-cap following on from Lisa's challenge last week.
Created my background layer, then decided to trim it down and sponge the base with green, stamping a leaf design all round the edge. I added some tiny yellow pearl dots on the pillow-top. Tag from LOTV with a linen thread bow, and the sentiment is from PTI, contoured with foam in the centre and stuck down at each end. I do have another LOTV stamp with a cute bunny in bed - but I feel it's more for someone acutely ill, so I didn't think it was appropriate.

That image is just the cutest ever and it's so wonderful paired with the pillow top bg...it's very cozy looking. I love your out of the box cutting, too...it just adds even more charm to this lovely card.

Oh - I don't think I've ever seen this technique and had to check out your original post. It's kinda like itty bitty, teeny weeny super controlled retiform . . .makes a super looking lush quilting and is perfect with that stamp.

My first reaction to this was AWWWWWW! Such a sweet image and I love the sentiment you paired with it. The bgs are both great and that pillow top is superb. Love the addition of the tiny pearl dots on the "quilt". Fabulous card.
