Our Teapot Tuesday cards this week are going to Linda who is having health issues and needs a spot of cheer.
Everything started well, it said something about a cat landing on a big honking daisy and that was as far as I needed to read. Out came my favourite die, sizzix daisy. I drew and coloured the kitty, that went well but then I messed up the wings by drawing brown outlines on them. Then I mounted the kitty and daisy on a yellow ground like the teapot - bad bad bad - too much yellow so tried again this time on blue. Next bit with the border went OK but now it's suppose to be finished and it is lacking something. First I put glitter on the wings and flower centre, better, but not fixed yet. Then came the hearts and the faux stitching for a border. The last thing I added was the kitty sat there so patiently while I kept prodding him with all kinds of embellishments none of which worked that I gave him a halo!
Everything on this card was hand drawn.

You deserve a halo of your own as well as your sweet kitty. I think you really captured the warmth and fun of the teapot here. Still all packed up for house viewings, I take it.
